    how about we do this

    .. PV = nRT

    and we note that ALL 5 of those variables are + .. .there are no negative P, V, n, or T right?

    *********

    (i) if V and n are constant

    . ..P = (nR/V) * T + 0.. .. . .P vs T plot is a line from the origin with a positive slope = (nR/V)

    (ii) if T and P are constant

    .. .V = (RT/P) * n + 0.. .. . V vs n is a line from the origin with a positive slope = (RT/P)

    (iii) if T and n are constant

    .. .P = (nRT) *(1/V) + 0.... . . P vs V is a curve with P = ∞ when V = 0... and P = 0 when V = ∞

    .. . better yet

    (iv).a plot of P vs 1/V = a straight line with slope = nRT and intercept = 0

    PV = nRT

    P = pressure

    V = volume in Liters

    n = moles of gas, use Avagadro’s 6.022x10^23

    R = ideal gas law constant

    T = temperature in Kelvin (C + 273.15)

    Temperature should be in absolute.

    So R depends upon the units that you use. The most common used value for R, when dealing with gases, is 8.3144598 (kPa∙L)/(mol∙K), but you can use other values of R when you have different units:

    Values of R and it’s units

    8.3144598 __________ J⋅K−1⋅mol−1

    8.3144598 ×10^3 ____ amu⋅m2⋅s−2⋅K−1

    8.3144598 ×10^−2 ____ L⋅bar⋅K−1⋅mol−1

    8.3144598 ___________ m3⋅Pa⋅K−1⋅mol−1

    62.363577 ___________ L⋅Torr⋅K−1⋅mol−1

    1.9872036 ×10^−3 ____ kcal⋅K−1⋅mol−1

    8.2057338 ×10^−5 ____ m3⋅atm⋅K−1⋅mol−1

    0.082057338 __________ L⋅atm⋅K−1⋅mol−1

    Per Wiki: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas_constant

    I would solve for variable, like n first

    n = PV/(RT)

    then insert your given values
