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

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
