what does this mean: V/T = constant

Solutions

Expert Solution

This is Charles Law : according to which. " Volume occupied by a equal moles of gas is directly proportional to the temperature at constant pressure"

Mathematically,

V T

i.e. V/T = constant

This, Law is applicable only for ideal gases

It shows that, as we increase temperature, particles gain more kinetic energy and thus volume occupied by gas also increases. for example. Automobile tires expands in summer.
