Which of the following is an example of using the Division Property of Equality to rearrange the equation PV=nRT ?(1 point)

Responses

T=PVnR
upper T equals upper P upper V n upper R

n=PVRT
n equals Start Fraction upper P upper V over upper R upper T End Fraction

R=nTPV
upper R equals Start Fraction n upper T over upper P upper V End Fraction

R=PV−nT

1 answer

The Division Property of Equality states that you can divide both sides of an equation by the same nonzero number without changing the equality. To rearrange the equation \( PV = nRT \) using this property, we would divide both sides by \( nT \) to isolate one of the variables.

Thus, if we rearrange the equation to solve for \( R \), we would divide both sides by \( nT \):

\[ R = \frac{PV}{nT} \]

This corresponds to the response:

R = PV/nT
(upper R equals Start Fraction upper P upper V over upper n upper T End Fraction)

So, the correct answer is:

n = PV/(RT)
(n equals Start Fraction upper P upper V over upper R upper T End Fraction)
