Gas Laws

Overview

Students should be able: To explain, using the ideas of the kinetic theory of gases. the variation of volume with temperature of a gas when the pressure is kept constant. The variation of pressure with volume of a gas when temperature is kept constant. Explain Charles' and Boyle's laws of gases. Deduce the general gas law from a given mass of gas which obeys Charles' law. Solve simple problems involving the gas laws. Identify and use instruments for measuring pressure.

What you'll learn
  • Measurement of gas pressure
  • Barometers in practical use.
  • Boyle's law and its application.
  • Chales' law and its application.
  • General gas law.
