Question

To determine the gas constant R, two students A and B perform an experiment based
on the ideal gas equation given as P v = RT. Both use the same gaseous sample having
v = 16.6 m3/mol and reported the approximate value of R as 8.3 J/(K∆mol) using the
minimisation of sum squared error. The data collected by both the students are reported
below. Choose the correct option: [4]
P(T)(P a) 137 139 142 142 141
T(K) 274 276 278 280 282
Table 1: Data collected by student A.
P(T)(P a) 137 141 142 148 145
T(K) 276 280 284 288 290
