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

  1. a

  2. b

  3. c

  4. d

The correct answer is: a

To find the solution for \( T \) in the equation \( PV = nRT \), we first rearrange the formula to isolate \( T \). The equation can be rewritten as: \[ T = \frac{PV}{nR} \] Given the values of \( P \), \( V \), \( n \), and \( R \), you can substitute them into the rearranged formula to find \( T \). In this context, we have: - \( P \) as a function of \( x \), - \( V \) as a function of \( y \), - \( n \) as a function of \( z \), and we need to confirm the values for \( P \), \( V \), \( n \), and \( R \). To do this, let's assume \( P \) corresponds to \( x \), \( V \) corresponds to \( y \), \( n \) corresponds to \( z \), and we use a constant \( R \) appropriate for the context of the problem, typically 0.0821 L·atm/(K·mol) in the Ideal Gas Law for calculations involving atmospheric pressure, volume, and standard unit conversions. Substituting the provided
