What is Avogadro’s law?
A) V1V2=T1T2
B) n1V1=n2V2
C) P1V1=P2V2
D) None of these
Solution
We have to remember that ideal gas molecules do not attract each other. The value of R = 8.314 J/Kmol
We can write the ideal gas equation as PV=nRT
Where P-pressure of the gas
V-volume
R-gas constant
n-number of moles
T-Temperature
Complete step by step answer:
We will look at this question by understanding this law:
Avogadro’s law states that the gases at same pressure and temperature at equal volumes will have the same number of molecules.
Ideal gas equation states that:
PV=nRT, which states that pressure and volume is directly proportional temperature and number of moles.
Considering an example of Hydrogen and nitrogen gas having equal numbers of moles at same pressure and temperature with equal volumes is observed to show an ideal behavior.
Avogadro’s law can be written as
V∝n
V=kn
Where, V is the volume of a gas
n=no. of moles
k= constant at given temperature and pressure
Thus this law can be narrated as at same temperature and pressure, equal volume of gases contains equal number of moles.
n1V1=n2V2
Where V1=volume of gas 1
V2=volume of gas 2
n1=no. of moles of molecule1
n2=no. of moles of molecule2
Option A) this is an incorrect option as V1V2=T1T2 this represents Charles law.
Option B) this is a correct option as explained above n1V1=n2V2 this is Avogadro’s law as explained above.
Option C) this is an incorrect option as P1V1=P2V2 this equation represents Boyle’s law.
Option D) this is an incorrect option as we got option B as a correct option.
Hence, the correct answer is, ‘Option D’.
Note: We have to remember that Boyle's law states that Pressure is inversely proportional to Volume and Charles’s law states that Temperature is directly proportional to volume.
