What temperature scale must always be used when working gas law problems?

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.

Is temperature expressed on the Celsius scale in calculations using Charles' Law?
No, you must always use the Kelvin scale when doing gas law problems.
What temperature scale must be used when working with the ideal gas equation?
The Kelvin scale is used.
Is Celsius the opposite of temperature?
No, Celsius is a temperature scale.
What is the difference between absolute temperature scale and kelvin scale urgent I am convinced that there is a difference?
Absolute temperature IS MEASURED IN KELVIN.
The non-SI scale for temperature?
The SI scale for temperature is Kelvin, which you can get by subtracting 273,15 from the Celsius scale.
The temperature scale for using Charles' Law is not Fahrenheit or Celsius but what?
Always use temperature in the Kelvin scale when doing gas law problems.
Is temperature expressed on the Celsius scale in calculations using Charles' Law?
No, you must always use the Kelvin scale when doing gas law problems.
What temperature scale must be used when working with ideal gas equations?
The Kelvin scale is used.
What temperature scale must be used when working with the ideal gas equation?
The Kelvin scale is used.
Is an absolute temperature scale always positive?
Yes, it is always positive. 0 K is the lowest temperature there can be.
Which temperature is always larger - an object's Celsius temperature or its kelvin temperature?
The objects Kelvin temperature. The Kelvin scale starts at absolute zero (-273 degrees Celsius)
What was the 1st problem the crew experienced in Apollo 13 mission?
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.
What is ment by the Kelvin scale of temperature?
the absolute temperature scale
At what temperature is the result the same no matter what scale you use?
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
What is the temperature scale where water freezes at 32?
It is the Fahrenheit temperature scale
What is the equivalent temperature on the celsius scale?
You need to tell us what temperature you want to convert - and from which temperature scale !
Which temperature scale is not directly or indirectly based on a phase changes in water?
Fahrenheit Scale is the temperature scale that is not directly or indirectly based on the phase changes in water. Another similar temperature scale is Celsius Scale.
