Boyle’s
law
|
||
Introduction
Boyle’s law is a quantitative relationship between volume and pressure of a gas at constant temperature. Statement "The volume of a given mass of a gas is inversely proportional to pressure if temperature remains constant ". Mathematical representation of Boyle’s law |
||
According
to Boyle’s law
V
µ 1/P
V=
(constant)(1/P)
PV=constant At P1 pressure P1V1 = constant ------------------(1) At P2 pressure P2V2 = constant ------------------(2) Comparing (1) & ( 2) P1V1 = P2V2 . |
||
Second
statement "At constant temperature, the product of pressure and volume of a gas remains constant " |
||
Graphical
representation of Boyle’s law Graph between P & V at constant temperature is a smooth curve known as "parabola" |
||
|
||
Graph between 1/P & V at constant temperature is a straight line. | ||

Introduction |
||
It is quantitative relation between volume and absolute temperature of a gas at constant pressure. | ||
Statement |
||
"The volume of a given mass of a gas at constant pressure is directly proportional to absolute temperature" | ||
Second
statement |
||
"The
volume of a given mass of a gas increases or decreases by 1/273
times of it’s original volume at 0 0C for
every degree fall or rise of temperature at given pressure." |

Mathematical
representation |
||
Let
the volume of a gas at T Kelvin is V
Then according to Charles’s law V µ T V = (constant) T
V/T
= constant
At T1 k
V1/T1 = k ---------------(1) At T2 k V2/T2 = k ---------------(2)
Thus
V1/T1 = V2/T2 |
||
Third
statement |
||
By
using above equation ,Charles’s law can also be stated as:
"The
ratio of volume to absolute temperature of a gas at given pressure is
always constant" Graphical representation Graph between Volume and absolute temperature of a gas at constant pressure is a "straight line" |
||
|
||
Absolute scale of temperature or absolute zero | ||
If the graph between V and T is extra plotted, it intersects T-axis at -273.16 0C At -273.16 0C volume of any gas theoretically becomes zero as indicated by the graph. | ||
|
||
But practically volume of a gas can never become zero. Actually no gas can achieve the lowest possible temperature and before -273.16 0C all gases are condensed to liquid. This temperature is referred to as absolute scale or absolute zero. At -273.16 0C all molecular motions are ceased. |
