Chapter 14, Problem 29R

To determine

The law that describes the volume temperature relationship of the gas.

Answer to Problem 29R

Charles’s law describes the volume temperature relationship of the gas at constant pressure.

Explanation of Solution

Introduction:

The ideal gas equation describes the relationship of variables like pressure, volume and temperature of the gas.

The expression of ideal gas is given as,

  $PV=RT$

Where,

• The pressure is $P$ .
• The volume is $V$ .
• The temperature is $T$ .
• Universal gas constant is $R$ .

If the pressure of the gas remains the same, the volume and temperature become proportional to each other. The temperature and volume of the gas increase at constant pressure describe by Charles’s law.

Conclusion:

Thus, Charles’s law describes the volume temperature relationship of the gas at constant pressure.
