Explain Charles's law on the basis of the kinetic theory of matter.​

Open in App
Solution

Charle's law on the basis of the kinetic theory of matter:​
  • Thus, when the temperature of a gas is increased, the molecules would move faster, and the molecules will strike the unit area of the walls of the container more frequently and vigorously. ​ ​
  • If the pressure is kept constant, the volume increases proportionately. ​ ​
  • Hence, at constant pressure, the volume of a given mass of a gas is directly proportional to the temperature (Charles's law). ​
