Boyle's law states that the volume of a fixed mass of a gas is inversely proportional to its temperature if<u> the temperature and the number of particles are constant.</u>
<h3>Further Explanation</h3><h3>Boyles’s law </h3>
- This gas law states that the volume of a fixed mass of a gas is inversely proportional to its pressure at constant absolute temperature.
- Therefore, when the volume of an ideal gas is increased at constant temperature then the pressure of the gas will also increase.
- Mathematically; Volume α 1/Pressure
Vα1/P
- Therefore, constant k, is = PV
<h3>Other gas Laws</h3><h3>Gay-Lussac’s law </h3>
- It states that at constant volume, the pressure of an ideal gas I directly proportional to its absolute temperature.
- Thus, an increase in pressure of an ideal gas at constant volume will result to an increase in the absolute temperature.
<h3>Charles’s law</h3>
- It states that the volume of a fixed mass of a gas is directly proportional to absolute temperature at constant pressure.
- Therefore, an increase in volume of an ideal gas causes a corresponding increase in its absolute temperature and vice versa while the pressure is held constant.
<h3>Dalton’s law </h3>
- It is also known as the Dalton’s law of partial pressure. It states that the total pressure of a mixture of gases is always equivalent to the total sum of the partial pressures of individual component gases.
- Partial pressure refers to the pressure of an individual gas if it occupies the same volume as the mixture of gases.
