QUESTION:

Explain how the perfect gas equation of state arises by combination of Boyle's law, Charles's law, and Avogadro's principle.

ANSWER:

Step 1 of 2:

Boyle's Law is stated as: At constant temperature, the volume of a fixed amount of gas is inversely proportional to its pressure:

\(V \propto \frac{1}{P}\) .............................(1)

Charles's law is given as: At constant pressure, the volume of a fixed amount of gas is directly proportional to its absolute temperature in kelvins. 

\(V \propto T\) ............................................(2)

Avogadro’s law: At constant temperature and pressure, the volume of a fixed amount of gas is directly proportional to the number of moles present in that sample of gas. 

\(V \propto n\) ...........................................(3)
