The pressure of an ideal gas in a sealed rigid container is directly proportional to its temperature only if the temperature is measured in K.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This statement is true according to the Ideal Gas Law, which states that PV=nRT, where P is pressure, V is volume, n is the amount of gas in moles, R is the ideal gas constant, and T is temperature measured in K. This equation shows that pressure and temperature are directly proportional, as long as the volume and amount of gas are held constant. Therefore, the statement is true.
