If temperature is held constant for an ideal gas, as P and V change for a given gas sample, the PV products will be constant.
@jordanloveangel
PV/T = k and since T is kept constant, PV = k as pressure increases, volume decreases and as pressure decreases, volume increases
is that a yes?
"If temperature is held constant for an ideal gas, as P and V change for a given gas sample, the PV products will be constant. I think it is true also" PV = nRT The only reason this could be false is if the amount of gas (n) is allowed to change. If n were held constant, then you would have PV = constant*constant*constant, so PV would be constant. It says "given gas sample" which I think means n is constant, making it true.
ok thanks
yeah np u got more ?
