P1V1 = P2V2 supports ?
A
Charles’s law
B
Boyles’s law
C
Graham’s law
D
Avogadro’s law
correct option: b
V = 1/P

cross multiply

K = VP

V1P1 = V2V2

For a fixed amount of an ideal gas kept at a fixed temperature, pressure and volume are inversely proportional. Or Boyle's law is a gas law, stating that the pressure and volume of a gas have an inverse relationship, when temperature is held constant.
The equations supports only Boyle’s law. Option A,C,D are not in support of the equation...

A fixed mass of gas a volume of 92cm3 at 3°C. When will be its volume at 18C if the pressure remains constant?
A
15.3cm3
B
87.3cm3
C
2.0cm3
D
97.0cm3
correct option: d
V1 ÷ T1 = V2 ÷ T2
T1 = 3 × 273 = 276k
T2 = 18 + 273 = 291k
V1 = 92cm3
V2 = ?
V2 = (V1T2) ÷ T1 = (92 × 291) ÷ 276
= 97.0cm3

Rare gases are suitable because they
A
are monoatomic
B
form ions easily
C
have duplet or octet electronic configuration in the outermost shells in their atoms
