The formula for the Ideal Gas Law is PV=nRT. Therefore, V=nRT/P. If T and P are constant and only the moles change V is entirely dependent on n. Since n is in the numerator of the equation, that means as the number of moles increase, the volume will increase too. This means V is directly proportional to n.

How do you tell if a math table is inversely proportional or directly proportional?

Generally, if y increases as x increases, this is a hint that the quantity is directly proportional, and if y decreases as x increases, the relation might be inversely proportional. However, this is not always the case. x and y are directly proportional if y = kx, where k is a constant. x and y are inversely proportional if y = k/x, k is constant. This is the best way to tell whether the quantities are directly or inversely proportional.


If y equals kx then what is the relationship between x y and k?

Various options: y is directly proportional to k, with x as the constant of proportionality; y is directly proportional to x, with k as the constant of proportionality; x is inversely proportional to k, with y as the constant of proportionality; x is directly proportional to y, with 1/k as the constant of proportionality; k is directly proportional to y, with 1/x as the constant of proportionality; and k is inversely proportional to x, with y as the constant of proportionality.


What is inversely and directly proportional?

Two variables, X and Y are said to be in inversely proportional is X*Y - k where k is some non-zero constant. X and Y are said to be directly proportional if X = c*Y where c is some constant.


What is directly and inversely proportional relationship?

Directly proportional relationship is F=ma, F is directly proportional to a. Inversely proportional relationship is v=r/t, v is inversely proportional to t.


What is the difference between directly propotional and inversely proportional?

In directly proportional the two variable vary in the same "direction". So, if one increases, the other increases.In inversely proportional, the two variable vary in opposite "directions". So, if one increases, the other decreases.


Is resistance inversely or directly proportional to temperature?

Directly proportional. As temperature goes up, so does resistance (hence supercomputers being cooled to such low temperatures).


What affects the evaporation of water?

The boiling of water is directly proportional to temperature and inversely proportional to the pressure exerted on the water.


When acceleration is held constant and objects of different mass are observed are mass and force directly proportional or inversely proportional?

directly proportional because force=(mass)(acceleration) (f=ma)
