Question

Under which of the following two conditions percentage increase in volume of a gas will be more i) On increasing temp. from 100∘C to 110 ∘C, P is kept constant ii) On increasing temp from 100 K to 110 K, keeping pressure constant a. (i) b. (ii) c. both are equal d. no change in volume will occur

Answer 1

The percentage increase in volume of the gas will be the same for both conditions.

Step-by-step explanation:

c) Both are equal.

According to Charles's law, if the pressure is kept constant, the volume of a gas is directly proportional to its temperature. Similarly, according to Boyle's law, if the temperature is kept constant, the volume of a gas is inversely proportional to its pressure. In both scenarios presented in the question, the starting temperature is 100°C and 100K respectively, and in both cases, the temperature is increased by 10 units. Since the increase in temperature is the same in both cases, the percentage increase in volume will also be the same.

Therefore, the correct answer is that the percentage increase in volume of the gas will be the same for both conditions (i) and (ii).
