Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The major know gas laws are
1. Boyle's law
2. Charles law
3. Pressure law
And
4. Ideal gas equation.
Boyle's law states that the pressure P of a given mass of gas is inversely proportional to its volume V assuming temperature remains constant. From this law, increase in pressure will lead to decrease in volume and likewise vice versa.
Mathematically,
P = kV
K = P1V1 = P2V2 = P3V3.........PnVn
Charles law states that the volume V of a given mass of gas is directly proportional to its temperature T provided the pressure remains constant.
What this gas law is trying to say is that increase in volume will lead to increase in temperature as long as pressure remains constant.
Mathematically,
V = kT
k = V1 / T1 = V2 / T2 = V3 / T3.........Vn / Tn
Pressure law states that the Pressure P of a fixed mass of gas is directly proportional to its absolute temperature T provided that it volume remains constant.
What this law is trying to say is that, increase in pressure will lead to increase in temperature of the gas as long as the volume remains constant.
P = kT
K = P1 / T1 = P2 / T2 = P3 / T3..........Pn / Tn...
The combined gas equation therefore combined the above three gas laws to give "ideal gas" equation.
From ideal gas equation,
PV = nRT
Where p = pressure of the gas
V = volume of the gas
R = ideal gas constant
T = temperature of the gas
n = number of moles of the gas present.
R = PV / nT.
This equation was used to derive the ideal gas constant by combing the above three equations (Boyle's law, Charles law and pressure law).
