How does Avogadro's law explain Gay - lussac's law of combining volumes?
Advertisements
उत्तर
Gay-Lussac experimentally determined that one volume of hydrogen and one volume of chlorine react to produce two volumes of hydrogen chloride gas.
According to Avogadro's law, if :
1 volume of hydrogen contains n molecules of the gas then 1 volume of chlorine also contains n molecules of the gas. Therefore 2 volume of hydrogen chloride contain 2n molecules of the gas.
\[\ce{H2 + Cl2 → 2HCI}\]
1 vol 1 vol 2 vol (by Gay-Lussac)
n n 2n (By Avogadro)
but hydrogen and chlorine are diatomic.
So, 2 atoms + 2 atoms → 2 molecules
1 atom + 1 atom → 1 molecule
i.e. 1 molecule of hydrogen chloride is formed when 1 atom of hydrogen combines with 1 atom of chlorine. Thus Avogadro's law explains Gay-Lussac's law of combining volumes.
