1 What is the relationship between volume and
pressure?
Give real-life examples.
KMT ON
CHARLES’ LAW
KMT states that the kinetic energy of gas molecules varies
directly with the temperature. As the temperature
increases, the molecules move faster.
If the volume is fixed, the molecules would be colliding
more times with a unit area of the wall. This would then
increase the gas pressure.
KMT ON
CHARLES’ LAW
To maintain the pressure constant, when the temperature
is increased, the volume of the gas has to increase.
When the volume increases, the distance traveled by a gas
molecule before it hits again a particular area of the wall
is increased.
KMT ON
CHARLES’ LAW
Thus, the increased number of collisions is distributed
over a larger surface area. The number of collisions per
unit area per unit time is maintained or is constant.
CHARLES’ LAW: VOLUME
AND TEMPERATURE
The Kelvin temperature and the
volume of a gas are directly related
when there is no change in pressure
or amount of gas.
A direct relationship is one in
which the related properties
increase or decrease together.
For two conditions, the ratio of
volume (V) to temperature (T)
is constant as long as pressure
(P) and number of moles (n) do
not change.
TEMPERATURE
If there is a difference in
temperatures between two
objects, heat flows.
Temperature is a measurement
of how hot or cold something
is.
TEMPERATURE CONVERSION
Let’s practice
A neon gas at 760 mmHg has a volume of
12 L and a temperature of 44 degrees
Celsius. Find the new volume of the gas
after the temperature has been increased
to 85 degrees Celsius at 760 torr.
Given:
V1= 12 L
T1= 44 degrees Celsius
T2= 85 degrees Celsius
V2=?
