Question
Under which condition laws of Boyle, Charles, and Gay-Lussac are valid?
Advertisements
Solution 1
The laws of Boyle, Charles, and Gay-Lussac are strictly valid for real gases, only if the pressure of the gas is not too high and the temperature is not close to the liquefaction temperature of the gas.
Solution 2
- Boyle’s Law `(P alpha 1/V "at constant T")`: Boyle’s Law states that pressure (P) and volume (V) are inversely proportional when temperature and the number of gas molecules remain constant. It is valid only if the temperature remains constant and the gas behaves ideally.
- Charles’s Law (V ∝ T at constant P): Charles’s Law states that volume (V) and absolute temperature (T) are directly proportional when pressure and the number of gas molecules remain constant. It is valid only if the pressure remains constant and the gas follows ideal gas behaviour.
- Gay-Lussac’s Law (P ∝ T at constant V): Gay-Lussac’s Law states that pressure (P) and absolute temperature (T) are directly proportional when volume and the number of gas molecules remain constant. It is valid only if the volume remains constant and the gas exhibits ideal behaviour.

Figure shows a cylindrical tube of radius 5 cm and length 20 cm. It is closed by a tight-fitting cork. The friction coefficient between the cork and the tube is 0.20. The tube contains an ideal gas at a pressure of 1 atm and a temperature of 300 K. The tube is slowly heated and it is found that the cork pops out when the temperature reaches 600 K. Let dN denote the magnitude of the normal contact force exerted by a small length dlof the cork along the periphery (see the figure). Assuming that the temperature of the gas is uniform at any instant, calculate `(dN)/(dt)`.
