Introduction: The ratios of the volumes and the ratios of the molecules of reactant and product gases are identical. Gay Lussac who worked on the volume of the gases for a long time could not point out this relationship. It was an Italian Professor of Physics Avogadro who traced out this relationship and derived a…
Definition: The attractive forces between the positive end of one molecule with the negative end of other molecule are called dipole-dipole forces. Explanation: In case of HCl, There is much electronegativity difference between hydrogen and chlorine. Due to this chlorine being more electronegative develops a partial negative charge whereas hydrogen develops partial positive charge. Hence…
Definition: The relationship, which shows the effect of simultaneous changes in pressure and temperature on the volume of given mass of a gas is called ideal gas law or combined gas law. Mathematical Form: (General gas equation) Mathematically, it is expressed as PV = nRT This equation is derived by combining Boyle’s law, Charles’ law…
Following statement of Charles’ law helps to derive absolute zero of temperature. “At constant pressure the volume of a given mass of an ideal gas increases or decreases by 1/273 of its original volume at 0°C for every 1°C rise or fall in temperature respectively.” ABSOLUTE ZERO TEMPERATURE Definition: The temperature at which volume of…
Introduction: In 1787, Charles found a relationship between volume and temperature of gases. He announced this relationship in the form of a law known as Charles’ law: Definition: “Volume of a given mass of a gas is directly proportional to the absolute temperature at constant pressure.” Mathematical Charles Law Formula: Another Statement for Charles’ Law:…
Introduction: In 1662, Boyle found a relationship between volume and pressure of gases. He announced this relationship in the form of a law known as Boyle’s law. Statement: “At constant temperature, volume of a given mass of a gas is inversely proportional to pressure exerted on it.” OR “Product of pressure and volume of a…
