Combining boyles law and Charles law to get general gas equation

1 answer

The general gas equation can be obtained by combining Boyle's Law and Charles's Law, as well as Avogadro's Law. These three gas laws can be written as:

Boyle's Law: PV = k (constant at constant temperature)
Charles's Law: V/T = k (constant at constant pressure)
Avogadro's Law: V/n = k (constant at constant temperature and pressure)

Combining these three equations, we can derive the general gas equation:

(PV)/T = nR

where:
P = pressure of the gas
V = volume of the gas
T = temperature of the gas
n = amount of gas (in moles)
R = ideal gas constant

This equation is known as the ideal gas law, which describes the behavior of gases under certain conditions.
