AThe law of Beer
BThe ideal gas law
CThe plain rate law
DThe law of Hess
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. The ideal gas law
1. Boyle, Charles and Avogadro each describe one slice of gas behaviour.
2. Eventually, these individual laws were combined into a single equation, the ideal gas law.
3. It relates gas quantities for gases.
4. It is quite accurate for low pressures and moderate temperatures.
