Expansion Of Gases Introduction<\/h2>\n

Gases expand on heating and contract on cooling, like solids and liquids. Like liquids, gases too do not have any fixed shape and therefore the linear or the surface expansion of a gas is irrelevant.<\/p>\n

Only the change in volume with the change in temperature is of importance. Other characteristic features of gaseous expansions, compared to those of solids and liquids, are discussed below.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. The coefficient of volume expansion for a gas has a much higher value than that for solids and liquids. For a certain rise in temperature, the expansion of the container is negligible compared to the expansion of the gas in it. Hence, the apparent expansion of gas is practically the same as real expansion and is usually not reckoned separately unless a very high accuracy is required.<\/li>\n
  2. Unlike solids and liquids, the volume of a fixed mass of a gas is considerably affected due to any change in pressure. So, the effects of both temperature and pressure have to be studied in connection with the expansion or contraction of a gas. While studying the effect of one, the other is usually kept constant.<\/li>\n
  3. The rate of expansion or contraction, due to the change in either pressure or temperature, does not differ for different gases. Unlike solids and liquids, the coefficient of expansion is the same for all gases.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    The state of a fixed mass of gas is therefore determined by the parameters<\/strong><\/p>\n

    1. Volume,<\/li>\n
    2. Pressure and<\/li>\n
    3. Temperature.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      The rules, that govern the change of one parameter with the change of another keeping the third one constant, are called gas laws.<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. It should be mentioned here that the pressure of a gas means the pressure exerted by the gas. In equilibrium (i.e., when each parameter of the gas is a constant) the pressure exerted by the gas and the pressure applied on the gas are equal.<\/li>\n
      2. The gas which follows Boyle’s law and Charles\u2019 law at any temperature and pressure is called an ideal gas. In reality, an ideal gas does not exist. However, the ideal gas concept provides a very useful tool for the analysis of real gases.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        \u00a0Expansion Of Gases Charles Law<\/h2>\n

        The relationship between the volume and temperature of a fixed mass of gas at constant pressure was investigated experimentally by the French scientist Charles in 1787.<\/p>\n
