Chapter 15, Problem 13STP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The gas law which describe the increase in volume of gas on increasing the temperature keeping the pressure constant is to be written.

Concept introduction:

This can be explained by Charles’ Law.

Answer to Problem 13STP

According to Charles’s Law-

$\mathrm{V}\propto T$

Thus on heating the gas, temperature of gas will rise. Therefore volume of gas will increase.

Explanation of Solution

Charles’ Law states that at constant pressure, volume is directly proportional to the Kelvin temperature for a given amount of gas.

According to Charles’ Law

$\frac{V}{T}=constant$, keeping the pressure constant

Thus on heating the canister, temperature of gas will rise so it will occupy large volume.

Conclusion

Charles’ law explains the effect of heating on volume of the gas.
