derive general gas equation
Answers
Explanation:
Let us consider the pressure exerted by the gas to be 'p,'
The volume of the gas be – 'v'
Temperature be – T.
n – be the number of moles of gas.
Universal gas constant – R.
According to Boyle's Law,At constant n & T, the volume bears an inverse relation with the pressure exerted by a gas.
i.e. v∝1p ………………………………(i)
According to Charles’ Law,
When p & n are constant, the volume of a gas bears a direct relation with the Temperature.
i.e. v∝T ………………………………(ii)
According to Avogadro’s Law,
When p & T are constant, then the volume of a gas bears a direct relation with the number of moles of gas.
i.e. v∝n ………………………………(iii)
Combining all the three equations, we have-
v∝nTp
or pv=nRT
where R is the Universal gas constant, which has a value of 8.314 J/mol-K
