Chem Gems Given: The equation of state for one mole of an ideal gas and Ohm's law for steady currents in metallic conductors. To Prow: That "Very Importmt People are Egotistical Tyrants."

From ( 2 ) Thus, equating (3) and (4)

R = E/I

( P V ) / T = EII

Rearrangement of (6) leads to

thereby completing the proof. Note: An alternative conclusion is possible. A rearrangement of (6) yields the prediction that "People in Venice are Turkey Eaters."
