Question

Consider a gas of n moles at a pressure of P and a temperature of T in Celsius, what would be its volume?

(a) nR(T + 273)/p

(b) nRT/p

(c) nR(T – 273)/p

(d) R(T + 273)/p

This question was addressed to me by my college director while I was bunking the class.

The above asked question is from States of Matter in division States of Matter of Chemistry – Class 11

Answer 1

Correct answer is (a) nR(T + 273)/p

The best explanation: The ideal gas equation is given NY  PV = not where p is pressure is the volume and is the number of moles are is universal gas constant and T is a temperature in Kelvin. So by arranging, we V = nR(T + 273)/p, as T is in Celcius, we need to add 273.
