Question
The relationships among which variable quantities are expressed by the ideal gas law equation?
Answers
GPT-4o mini
The ideal gas law expresses the relationship among four variable quantities:
1. **Pressure (P)** - the force exerted by the gas particles per unit area.
2. **Volume (V)** - the space occupied by the gas.
3. **Temperature (T)** - the measure of the average kinetic energy of the gas particles, usually expressed in Kelvin.
4. **Amount of gas (n)** - the quantity of gas present, typically measured in moles.
The ideal gas law is formulated as:
\[ PV = nRT \]
where \( R \) is the ideal gas constant. This equation shows how these variables interact in an ideal gas scenario under assumptions that the gas behaves ideally (e.g., low pressure and high temperature).
