Question

In the ideal gas equation $\text{PV}=n\text{RT}$, the constant $\text{R}$ depends on:

• A. Pressure of the gas
• B. Volume of the gas
• C. Temperature of the gas
• D. None of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is D None of the above

In the ideal gas equation $\text{PV}=n\text{RT}$, the constant $\text{R}$ is the universal gas constant $=\mu {\text{N}}_{\text{A}}{\text{k}}_{\text{B}}=8.31{\text{J mol}}^{-1}{\text{K}}^{-1}$
It is a constant and does not depend on the other factors like pressure, volume, and temperature. $\text{R}$ is same for all gases.
