Boyle's Law Relation With Kinetic Theory And Ideal Gases

Boyle’s Law holds good only if the temperature and amount of gas remain unchanged.

Mathematically, we write Boyle’s law as:

where D is density & v is rms velocity of gas molecules

We know that the kinetic theory of gases (ideal gas), the pressure exerted by a gas is

Since, density D = M/V, in the above equation becomes

Therefore

Therefore

Now, if the temperature of the gas is maintained constant, the velocity of gas molecules does not vary and hence the kinetic energy will be constant.

Therefore, PV = (⅔)KE = constant which verifies Boyle’s Law
