Answer:
kinetic gas equation is a mathematical expression for kinetic molecular theory of gases.
PV=1/3mnU^2.
where,
P= pressure of the gas
V= volume of the gas
m= mass of the gas molecule
n= no. of molecules of the gas
U= r.m.s. velocity
Deduction of Boyle's law from KGE:
according to kinetic gas equation,
PV=1/3mnU^2
(or) PV=2/3*1/2mnU^2
(or)PV=2/3Ek-------(1)
1/2mnU^2 is the kinetic energy of 'n' molecules.
But the average K.E. of the gas molecules is directly proportional to the absolute temperature.---------(2).
from (1) and (2),
PV=2/3K.T.
At constant temperature, PV=constant.
This is Boyle's law.
