physics gas laws


Gas laws
These are the laws that give the relation between the pressure, volume and temperature of a given mass of a gas. We have two laws that deal with these changes. They are (1) Boyle's law and (2) Charle's law..
Gas Laws
All gases, irrespective of their chemical identity, under moderate conditions show a simple behaviour with respect to pressure (P), volume (V), temperature (T) and the number of moles (n). The quantitative relationships between these quantities are the gas laws. Such a..
Gas Laws
The discussions on the need for four properties and corresponding units t(5 describe gases would provide a platform to explore how these properties are related and the statement of gas laws. Gas laws can be taken up. 1. By recalling the ..
Combined Gas Law
By Charles law volume of gas is directly related to temperature V T But by Boyles law volume is inversely related to pressure V 1/P If we combine both the expressions we can state that V T/P or V = kT/P which gives PV/T=k Once again for two..
derivation of gas laws
(i) Boyle's law. ' 'The volume V of a given mass of a gas is inversely proportional to its pressure P provided the temperature T remains constant." According to the kinetic theory of gases, p = |mC2 or PV = IMC2 According to kinetic interpretation of temperature, C2 T ..
Study of Gas Laws
For thousands of years, people have wondered about the true nature of matter. Ancient Greek philosophers like Aristotle thought that all matter was made up of four elements : earth, water, air and fire. Indian sages differed slightly in their view and believed in an additional fifth element,..
gas model
A model helps to explain a large number of facts. A gas model should explain the behaviour of the gas. Pressure, temperature and volume are the three physical quantities which describe the behaviour of a gas. Pressure is force per unit area. Accord..
The First Law of thermodynamics
The Law of Conservation of Energy which states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, but can only be redistributed or changed from one form to another, is familiar to the student. How this applies to thermodyanmics need to be understood. By discussing examples of chemical..
Law of conservation of energy or I law of thermodynamics
(a) Isothermal process : In this process, temperature of the system remains constant since there is constant exchange of heat between the system and surroundings. ie AE = 0 ; |q = -w Mechanical work done (w) = heat lost or gained (q) (b) Adiabatic process : In this pr..
