The pressure P, volume V and absolute temperature T of a given mass of an ideal gas change simultaneously. Which of the following equations is correct about the gas?

  • A. A. PV = constant/T
  • B. B. P/T = constant
  • C. C. P/T x 1/T = constant
  • D. D. T/(PV) = constantCorrect

Explanation

If we divide through by PV, we obtain 1/T = constant/PV, which rearranges to give T/(PV) = constant.
