Answer:
Derivation of the Ideal Gas Equation
According to Charles' Law, When p & n are constant, the volume of a gas bears a direct relation with the Temperature. According to the 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.
Explanation:
There are several ways to derive the Ideal Gas Law, but the simplest way is to use the three simple gas laws.
AVOGADRO'S LAW states the volume of a gas is directly proportional to the number of moles.
V ∝ n
BOYLE'S LAW states that the volume of a gas is inversely proportional to its pressure.
V ∝ 1/P
CHARLES'S LAW states that the volume of a gas is directly proportional to its Kelvin temperature.
V ∝ T
If we combine these laws, we get
V ∝ nT/P
We covert the proportionality to an equality
V = knT/P
We replace k with the universal gas constant R and get
V = nRT/P
This can be rearranged to give the IDEAL GAS LAW
PV = nRT
