The expression PV=nRT represents the:

Correct answer: C. General gas equation

  • A. Dalton's Law
  • B. Avogadro's Law
  • C. General gas equation
  • D. Van der Waals equation

Explanation

PV=nRT is a General gas equation for an ideal gas equation. Avagadro's law is V1n2=V2n1, Dalton's law is Ptotal=P1+P2+P3..., Van der Waal equation is (P+V2an2)(V−nb)=nRT.

About Ideal Gas Equation

The ideal gas equation, PV = nRT, relates pressure, volume, amount and absolute temperature when gas particles are assumed to have negligible volume and no intermolecular forces. Applications include finding molar mass, density or an unknown gas variable, with careful use of Kelvin temperature and consistent units, and comparison with real-gas behaviour.
