Question

The pressure, temperature, and volume of an ideal gas are related by the equation R= PV/nT. Solve this equation for T, which is the temperature in degrees Kelvin. The amount of a certain population with limited resources is given by the equation P= k/1+cB(-t) Solve this equation for the constant c. Write your answer so that there is no negative exponent.

Answer 1

R = PV/nT goes to nT = PV/R.

Then T is PV/nR.

Note that T is PV/nR goes to PV = nRT which is the

usual form of the Ideal Gas Law.

Take P = k/1 + cB^-t to P = k + cB^-tor

c/B^t = P − k. Then c = B^t[P − k].
