Question

The perfect gas equation is $\mathrm{PV}=\mathrm{nRT}$ where $\text{n}$ is the

• A. Number of moles
• B. Amount of gas
• C. Volume of gas
• D. Pressure of gas

Answer 1

The correct option is B

Amount of gas

The explanation for the correct option

(B) Amount of gas

Ideal gas equation

• The ideal gas equation is as follows:-

$\mathrm{PV}=\mathrm{nRT}$

• Here, $\text{n}$ is the amount of gas, $\text{P}$ is the pressure, $\text{V}$ is the volume, $\text{T}$ is the temperature, and $\text{R}$ is the gas constant.

Hence, in the given equation, $\text{n}$ is the amount of gas.

The explanation for the incorrect options

In the given equation, $\text{n}$ is the amount of gas. Hence, options (A), (C), and (D) are incorrect.

Hence, option (B) is the correct option. $\text{n}$ is the amount of gas.
