Question

which of the following is not a factor in the ideal gas law?
type of container
amount of a substance in moles
temperature in kelvins
pressure

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the ideal gas law formula

The ideal gas law is \(PV = nRT\), where \(P\) is pressure, \(V\) is volume, \(n\) is the amount of substance in moles, \(T\) is temperature in Kelvins, and \(R\) is the ideal gas constant.

Step2: Analyze each option

• Amount of a substance in moles (\(n\)): Present in the formula \(PV = nRT\).
• Temperature in Kelvins (\(T\)): Present in the formula \(PV = nRT\).
• Pressure (\(P\)): Present in the formula \(PV = nRT\).
• Type of container: Not present in the formula \(PV = nRT\).

Answer:

Type of container.
