Can the Celsius temperature be used in the ideal gas equation $PV = nRT$ in place of the Kelvin temperature if a suitable numerical value of R is used?

Options:

Answer:

Solution:

$P V$ is proportional to the absolute temperature, vanishing at

0 K. On the Celsius scale $T_{C} = T - 273.15$ , so

$P V = n R (T_{C} + 273.15)$ and no single constant removes

the offset. B.
