Significance of Boyle’s Law

"Significance of Boyle's Law and Charles' Law: In this video, we will see the significance of Boyle's law and Charles law. This is a very important topic from Physics

The volume reduces as pressure rises. As time passes, the gas grows denser. As a result, under constant temperature, a gas’s density is equivalent to its pressure.

At high elevations, atmospheric pressure is low, therefore air is less dense. As a result, there is less oxygen available for breathing.

Statement

The volume is directly proportional to the volume for a certain quantity of gas at a constant temperature.

This means that doubling the pressure, for example, will reduce the volume by half. The volume will drop tenfold if the pressure is increased ten times.

This may be expressed numerically as

where 

  • P is pressure, 

  • V is volume, and 

  • k is a constant.

 The law may also be used to find the pressure or volume of a system when the temperature is held constant:

where:

  • = initial pressure
    = initial volume

  • = final pressure
    = final volume 

Boyle’s Law demands that the temperature is constant.

The graph is :

 

Boyle’s Law derivation:

For an enclosed gas, at the constant temperature

or,  (it is a constant)

ie; P1V1 = P2V2

The quill tube is helpful in verifying Boyle’s law.

Since the volume of gas inside the tube = cross-sectional area of tube × length of air column ,

So, 

What is Charles’s Law?

One of the gas laws is Charles’ Law. Jacques Alexandre César Charles, a French inventor and scientist, explored the link between the volume and temperature of a gas under constant pressure near the end of the 18th century.

It states that:

  • At constant pressure, the volume of a given mass of a gas is precisely proportional to its Kevin temperature. The link across temperature and volume may be stated mathematically as:                               
  • This implies that doubling the temperature, for example, will also double the volume. If you cut the temperature in half, you’ll get half the volume.

This may be expressed numerically as follows:

Where

  • is volume 
  • is temperature

Write the difference between Charles’ law and Boyle’s law?

  • The two terms involved in Charles’ law are directly proportional to each other, whereas the terms involved in Boyle’s law are inversely proportional. 
  • The two terms involved in Charles’ law are directly proportional to each other, whereas the terms involved in Boyle’s law are inversely proportional.

Combination of Boyle’s law and Charle’s law

Boyle’s Law and Charles’ Law are integrated into the standard combined gas law.

The combined gas law contains the relationships between pressure, volume, and absolute temperature. Mathematically, it’s written as:

So  working form of the combined gas law is:

Applications of Boyle’s law:

  1. Human breathing mechanics precisely follow Boyle’s law: As we all know, breathing or respiration involves two distinct processes: exhale and inhale.
  2. Syringe: Depressing the piston on a sealed syringe reduces the volume of air within while increasing the pressure. Similarly, if you drawback on the plunger on a syringe carrying a little bit of water, the volume of surrounding air while the pressure drops.

What is Dalton’s law?

The partial pressure of a gas in a mixture, according to Dalton’s law, is the pressure the gas would exert if it inhabited the entire volume of the mixture. The total of all partial pressure of oxygen of gas in a combination should equal the barometric pressure, according to this rule. 

What is Gay Lussac’s Law?

Under a constant volume, Gay-Law Lussac asserts that pressure is exactly proportional to temperature.

Gay-Lussac’s Law:

Gay-Lussac’s Law also states that , where is the proportionality constant.

Where,

  • is the pressure
  • is the temperature
  • is the constant

 

What is Avagadro’s Law?

Under the same temperature and pressure conditions, Avogadro’s law asserts that equal volumes of diverse gases include an equal number of water molecules.

It may be represented as: with constant pressure and temperature

                                                                     

Here

 

  • is the volume of gas 

  • is the amount of gaseous substance in moles 

  • is a constant

What is an Ideal Gas?

A theoretical gas composed of a huge number of spontaneously moving individual atoms without an interparticle interaction is known as an ideal gas. The ideal gas concept is significant because it respects the ideal gas law, a condensed equation of state, and is accessible to statistical mechanics analysis. Because there are no extra interactions, the pressure of an ideal gas is determined by collisions with both the container and molecules of many different substances.

Conclusion

Boyle’s law is important because it outlines how gases behave. It proves without a shadow of a doubt that gas volume and pressure are precisely related. An ideal gas is a hypothetical gas made up of a large number of randomly moving point particles with no interparticle interactions. Because it respects the ideal gas law, a condensed equation of state, and is susceptible to statistical mechanics analysis, the ideal gas notion is valuable. The partial pressure of a gas in a mixture, according to Dalton’s law, is the pressure that the gas would exert if it occupied the entire volume of the mixture.
