Question

In the equation pv=nrt, how would you solve for v?

Answer 1

By applying a little algebra.

Explanation:

So you have the original equation, `PV = nRT`. To get the V, you must multiply both sides by P.

Therefore,

`(cancel PV)/cancel "P"` = `(nRT)/P` or

`V` = `(nRT)/P`

Now you can check if the equation above is correct by recalling the various principles in Gas Laws.
