Ryleigh Howard · Answer 1

The combined gas equation relates three variables pressure, temperature and volume when the number of moles is constant.

The equation is PV / T = constant. Which is valid for a fixed number of moles of the gas.

You can derive the combined gas equation from the combination of Bolye's law, Charles' law and Gay-Lussac's law, which needs some algebra.

Answer: option 2. number of moles.
