If x=3, y=-4, and z=2, what is the value of PV = nRT when solving for T?

  1. a

  2. b

  3. c

  4. d

The correct answer is: a

To solve for T in the equation PV = nRT, we start by isolating T. We can rearrange the equation to get T = PV / (nR). In this equation: - P is the pressure, - V is the volume, - n is the number of moles, - R is the ideal gas constant, - T is the temperature. Now, although specific values for P, V, n, and R are not provided in the question, we can determine the method for calculating T knowing x, y, and z. If any of these variables relate to the parameters in the equation, we can substitute them into the formula. In this case, if we assign values as: - P = x = 3, - V = y = -4 (which generally isn't applicable since volume can't be negative), - n = z = 2. If we were to use these values in the PV = nRT equation, they would be plugged into the formula as follows: T = (3 * -4) / (2 * R). Although circumstances regarding R are unspecified, whether it's a numerical value or a symbolic representation, we can say that this method establishes how to find T. Given that your
