PV = nRT
You can use whatever you want essentially, however S.I units are generally preferred so you don't end up in a mess.
P in pascals (Pa)
V in metres (m3)
n is just the number of moles
R is the gas constant 8.3145x103 (JK-1mol-1)
T is temperature in Kelvin (K)
Converting Celsius to Kelvin is simple (degrees celcius + 273.15) = temperature in Kelvin
Note:- if you keep pressure in Torr rather than Pa, you have to use a different value for the gas constant R.
Kelvin must always be used
No, you must always use the Kelvin scale when doing gas law problems.
The Kelvin scale is used.
The Kelvin scale is an absolute temperature scale where 0K represents absolute zero. The absolute temperature scale refers to any temperature scale that starts at absolute zero, such as the Kelvin scale. So, the Kelvin scale is a specific type of absolute temperature scale.
No, Celsius is a temperature scale.
The SI scale for temperature is Kelvin, which you can get by subtracting 273,15 from the Celsius scale.
Always use temperature in the Kelvin scale when doing gas law problems.
No, you must always use the Kelvin scale when doing gas law problems.

The Kelvin scale is used.
Yes, it is always positive. 0 K is the lowest temperature there can be.
The objects Kelvin temperature. The Kelvin scale starts at absolute zero (-273 degrees Celsius)
The O2 tank 2 temperature scale stopped working (or so the crew thought), reading off scale high. It turned out the sclae was working fine. The temperature inside the tank had reached nearly 1,000 deg F, but the scale only read up to 100 deg F.
the absolute temperature scale
No temperature is exactly the same on every scale. This is because the Kelvin and Celsius scales, and the Rankine and Fahrenheit scales, are always a constant difference. -40 C = -40 F
It is the Fahrenheit temperature scale
You need to tell us what temperature you want to convert - and from which temperature scale !
The Rankine temperature scale is not directly or indirectly based on phase changes in water. It is most commonly used in engineering and is based on the Fahrenheit scale, with absolute zero as 0°R.
