Which of the following is an example of using the Division Property of Equality to rearrange the equation PV=nRT ?
PV = nRT is already in standard form and does not need to be rearranged using the Division Property of Equality.
Which of the following is an example of using the Division Property of Equality to rearrange the equation PV=nRT ?
A. R=nT/PV
B. R=PV−nT
C. n=PV/RT
D. T=PVnR
C. n = PV/RT is an example of using the Division Property of Equality to rearrange the equation PV = nRT.
To use the Division Property of Equality to rearrange the equation PV = nRT, you would divide both sides of the equation by the same non-zero value. This allows you to isolate the variable you want to solve for. In this case, the equation PV = nRT represents the Ideal Gas Law, where P is pressure, V is volume, n is the number of moles, R is the ideal gas constant, and T is temperature.
To rearrange the equation using the Division Property of Equality, you could divide both sides by the value of RT (the coefficient of n). This would yield:
PV / (RT) = nRT / (RT)
Simplifying further, you would have:
PV / (RT) = n
In this rearranged equation, the variable n is isolated on one side of the equation, allowing you to determine its value when given the values of pressure (P), volume (V), gas constant (R), and temperature (T). So, the correct answer to your question would be PV / (RT) = n.
