The physical principle known as Charles’ law states that the volume of a gas equals a constant value multiplied by its temperature as measured on the Kelvin scale (zero Kelvin corresponds to -273.15 degrees Celsius).

Explanation: The statement that accurately describes Charle´s law is statement b, wich says “the volume of a gas is directly proportional to its temperature in kelvin.” V is the volume of the gas.

Boyle’s law states that pressure (P) and volume (V) are inversely proportional. Charles’ law states that volume (V) and temperature (T) are directly proportional. Gay-Lussac’s law states that pressure (P) and temperature (T) are directly proportional.

Boyle’s law

The units used in the ideal gas equation that PV = nRT are:

• P is pressure measured in Pascals.
• V is the volume measured in m.
• n is the number of moles.
• R is the universal gas constant measured in J/(K. mol)
• T is the temperature measured in Kelvin.

That is, the product of the pressure of a gas times the volume of a gas is a constant for a given sample of gas. In Boyle’s experiments the Temperature (T) did not change, nor did the number of moles (n) of gas present. So Boyle found PV = (nRT)

Instead, the parameter R represents a relationship that holds between some physical quantities, specifically the pressure and volume of a gas, and the temperature and amount of gas. Specifically, R is equal to the ratio PV/nT. The exact numerical value of the gas constant actually varies with the chosen units.

pressure

The value of R at atm that is at standard atmospheric pressure is R = 8.3144598 J. mol-1. K-1.

The factor “R” in the ideal gas law equation is known as the “gas constant”. R = PV. nT. The pressure times the volume of a gas divided by the number of moles and temperature of the gas is always equal to a constant number.

The Gas Constant (R) If you use the first value of R, which is 0.082057 L atm mol-1K-1, your unit for pressure must be atm, for volume must be liter, for temperature must be Kelvin.

Boundless Chemistry

1. The ideal gas equation is given by PV=nRT P V = n R T .
2. PV=nRT.
3. 8.3145L⋅kPaK⋅mol=0.0821L⋅atmK⋅mol=62.4L⋅mm HgK⋅mol.

The ideal gas law is: pV = nRT, where n is the number of moles, and R is universal gas constant. The value of R depends on the units involved, but is usually stated with S.I. units as: R = 8.314 J/mol·K.

The kinetic-molecular theory of gases assumes that ideal gas molecules (1) are constantly moving; (2) have negligible volume; (3) have negligible intermolecular forces; (4) undergo perfectly elastic collisions; and (5) have an average kinetic energy proportional to the ideal gas’s absolute temperature.

The gas particles have negligible volume. The gas particles are equally sized and do not have intermolecular forces (attraction or repulsion) with other gas particles. The gas particles move randomly in agreement with Newton’s Laws of Motion. The gas particles have perfect elastic collisions with no energy loss.

Tyres of untouched vehicles get deflated during freezing winter days while get inflated in hot summer days. This unusual behaviour is because of Charles’s law. In winter due to low temperatures, the air inside a tyre gets cooler, and they shrink. While in hot days, the air expands with temperature.

Explanation: Cars have tires. These tires (in British English tyres) have to have air pressure. Inflatable beds can be given as another example as well as baloons.

One example of the combined gas law applies to scuba diving. In scuba divers, human lungs are the container that hold the gas. The pressure in water is greater than pressure in air, and water pressure increases with depth. With each additional foot that divers descend, water pressure rises.

Avogadro’s Law in Everyday Life When you blow up a balloon, you are adding molecules of gas into it. The result is that the volume of the balloon increases – and in order to do this, you decrease the number of molecules in your lungs (which decreases their volume)! A bicycle pump does the same thing to a bicycle tire.
