Question: How will you verify the law
experimentally? Give graphical explanation of the law?
A plot P verses 1/V
is a straight line. The straight line meets at origin where the pressure is
close to zero and the volume is so high that, l/v becomes almost equal to zero.
At higher constant temperature, the straight line will be closer to x-axis.
Answer:
Explanation.
The law
can be verified by a simple experiment as shown in figure below.
| Figure: Verification of Boyle's Law |
It consists of a cylinder fitted with a piston and a
manometer. One dm3 of a gas at 2 atm and 25 οC is
enclosed in the cylinder. When the pressure is doubled (4 atm), the is reduced
to ½ dm3. When the pressure
is increased 3 times (6 atm), volume of the gas
the volume of the gas is reduced to 1/3 dm3.
Hence
, PIVI = 2 atm x 1 dm3 = 2 atm.
dm3
P2V2 = 4 atm x 1/2dm3 = 2 atm. dm3
P3V3 = 6 atm x 1/3dm3 = 2 atm. dm3
P1V1= P2V2 = P3V3
= constant at constant
Graphical Explanation of Boyle's Law:
In the above experiment, at constant temperature when
pressure is varied and volume is noted against each pressure.
Graphical
explanation of the law is then given in a variety of ways. A plot of V Versus P
gives a hyperbolic curve.

Such curves drawn at constant temperature are called
isotherms. At higher temperature the gas expands and the curve goes away from
to two axes.

| Figure: A plot between P and 1/V |
A plot of PV versus P at constant temperature is a
straight line parallel to X-axis for ideal gas . Any deviation from straight
line will make the gas non-ideal.

Question . State and explain Charle’s Law
Answer:
Statement:
‘‘Volume of a given mass of a gas is directly proportional to
absolute temperature at constant pressure”. Or
Mathematically
Explanation: A known quantity of a gas is taken in a cylinder fitted
with a piston. Let the volume of the gas be V1 at temperature
T1 When gas is heated, its volume changes to V2
and temperature to T2. It is seen that.
