  3. C mass of the gas
  4. D number of molecules of gas in one mole
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) number of molecules of gas in one mole

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\mathrm{PV}=\mathrm{nRT}\) \(\mathrm{n}=\frac{\mathrm{PV}}{\mathrm{RT}}\) Number of molecules \(=\mathrm{N}_{\mathrm{A}} \frac{\mathrm{PV}}{\mathrm{RT}}\) \(=\frac{\mathrm{PV}}{\left(\mathrm{R} / \mathrm{N}_{\mathrm{A}}\right) \mathrm{T}}=\frac{\mathrm{PV}}{\mathrm{k}_{\mathrm{B}} \mathrm{T}}\)
where, \(\mathrm{k}_{\mathrm{B}}=\) Boltzmann constant.
