Answer to Question #160902 in General Chemistry for LaNease Daley

Question

Describe how the kinetic theory explains Charle's law

Answer 1

Kinetic theory of gases is that the molecules are very small relative to the distance between molecules. The molecules are in constant, random motion an frequently collide with each other and with the walls of any container. The higher temperature, the greater the motion.

Charles law:- For a fixed mass of a gas at constant pressure volume is directly proportional to the temperature.

V=KT, where k is the constant.
