SUMMARY
The equation P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2 can be rearranged to isolate T2 by first multiplying both sides by T1T2. This results in T2 = (P2V2T1) / (P1V1). The discussion illustrates a straightforward approach to manipulating the equation, emphasizing the importance of maintaining balance by performing the same operation on both sides. Participants confirmed the simplicity of the process once the correct steps were identified.
