A gas has experienced a small increase in volume but has maintained the same pressure and number of miles. According to the ideal gas law, how gas the temperature of the gas changed?

Respuesta :

According to Charles' law for ideal gases, at constant pressure, the volume and temperature of a given mass of gas with same number of moles are directly proportional to each other. This means, if volume increases then temperature will also increase whereas, if volume decreases then temperature will also decrease. For this reason, a small increase in volume will increase the temperature of the gas.

Therefore,

Volume ∝ Temperature in Kelvin scale.

V ∝ T

Answer: A small increase in volume will also increase the temperature by small amount.

Explanation:

The relation between volume and temperature of the gas is given by Charles' Law.

This law states that volume of the gas is directly proportional to the temperature of the gas at constant pressure.

The equation given by Charles' law follows:

[tex]V\propto T[/tex]       (at constant pressure)

From the relation, volume is directly related to temperature of the gas. This means that, if volume of the gas increases, the temperature of the gas will also increase and vice-versa

Hence, a small increase in volume will also increase the temperature by small amount.
