Understanding the Answer

Let's break down why this is correct

Answer

To find the volume, first measure the gas’s pressure (P) and temperature (T). Next, calculate how many moles of gas (n) you have, using the known mass or chemical formula. Then, choose the appropriate gas constant (R) for the units you are using. Finally, plug P, n, R, and T into PV = nRT and solve for the volume (V). This sequence ensures all variables are known before solving for V.

Detailed Explanation

You first measure pressure and temperature because they are the variables you can obtain directly in the experiment. Other options are incorrect because This choice puts the mole count before measuring pressure and temperature; Starting with the gas constant assumes you need it before measuring anything.
