Question

Suppose PV =NRT, where P=8, V=2X, N=2 and R=2X.you are given X=3. Solve for T

Answer 1

Answer:  T = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Write all the variables down

P = 8  V = 2X  N = 2  R = 2X  X = 3

2. Since you know that X = 3 substitute it in to find V and R

V = 2X = 2(3) = 6

R = 2X = 2(3) = 6

3. Find PV

PV = P x V

     = 8 x 6

     = 48

4. Find NRT

NRT = N x R x T

       = 2 x 6 x T

       = 12 x T

       = 12T

5. Find T

PV = NRT

48 = 12T

12T = 48

divide both sides by 12

  T = 48 ÷ 12

  T = 4
