State Boyle's Law?

Solution

Boyle’s Law : Temperature remaining constant the volume of a given mass of dry gas is inversely proportional to its pressure.

V α1p=T=Constant

Question
CBSEENPH110024921

Calculate the degrees of freedom for monoatomic, diatomic and triatomic gas?

Solution

The degrees of freedom of the system is given by:- f=3 N-K

where f = degrees of freedom

N = Number of Particles in the system.

K = Independent relation among the particles.

Question
CBSEENPH110024922

what do you mean by mean free path and write the formula?

Solution

In kinetic theory the mean free path of a particle, such as a molecule, is the average distance the particle travels between collisions with other moving particles. The formula still holds for a particle with a high velocity relative to the velocities of an ensemble of identical particles with random locations.
