Answer 1.
The ideal gas equation also called ideal gas law can be written as under:
PV = nRT
This equation interrelates 4 quantities, pressure, volume, temperature and number of moles (n).
This equation is applicable only in the cases where Temperature is AROUND room temperature and pressure is AROUND 1 atmosphere. The word around here means they are not exactly 1 atmosphere or room temperature. If the pressure and temperature vary from these values ...
