Answer. 12 km/hr and 2 m are scalar quantities.

Explanation

Scalar quantities are those quantities which only have magnitude but no direction, for example: speed, time, mass etc.

Vector quantities are the quantities which have both magnitude and direction,for example : acceleration, momentum etc.

5 m northeast and 2 m north are vector quantities telling us magnitude and direction both that is 5 m in north east direction and 2 m in north direction.

12 km/hr and 2 m are scalar quantities telling us only speed and distance respectively without specific directions.

Which law relates to the ideal gas law?

Kamila [148]

The equation of state for a hypothetical ideal gas is known as the ideal gas law, sometimes known as the general gas equation. i.e. PV = nRT or P1V1 = P2V2.

According to the ideal gas law, the sum of the absolute temperature of the gas and the universal gas constant is equal to the product of the pressure and volume of one gram of an ideal gas.
Robert Boyle, Gay-Lussac, and Amedeo Avogadro's observational work served as the basis for the ideal gas law. The Ideal gas equation, which simultaneously describes every relationship, is obtained by combining all of their observations into a single statement.
When applying the gas constant R = 0.082 L.atm/K.mol, pressure, volume, and temperature should all be expressed in units of atmospheres (atm), litres (L), and kelvin (K).
At high pressure and low temperature, the ideal gas law basically fails because molecule size and intermolecular forces are no longer negligible but rather become significant considerations.
