    The quantity
    pVkTrepresents
    (a) mass of the gas
    (b) kinetic energy of the gas
    (c) number of moles of the gas
    (d) number of molecules in the gas.
    digAnsr:   d
    Ans : `` \,\mathrm{\,Here\,},``
    `` PV=nRT...\left(1\right)``
    `` \,\mathrm{\,Also\,},``
    `` k=\frac{R}{N}``
    `` \Rightarrow R=kN...\left(2\right)``
    `` ``
    `` \,\mathrm{\,Now\,},``
    `` PV=nkNT\left[\,\mathrm{\,From\,}\,\mathrm{\,eq\,}.\left(1\right)\,\mathrm{\,and\,}\,\mathrm{\,eq\,}.\left(2\right)\right]``
    `` \Rightarrow nN=\frac{PV}{kT}``
    `` nN=\,\mathrm{\,Number\,}\,\mathrm{\,of\,}\,\mathrm{\,molecules\,}``
    `` \frac{\,\mathrm{\,P\,}\,\mathrm{\,V\,}}{\,\mathrm{\,k\,}\,\mathrm{\,T\,}}=\,\mathrm{\,Number\,}\,\mathrm{\,of\,}\,\mathrm{\,molecules\,}``
    `` ``
    `` ``
    Thus,
    (d) is the correct answer.
