An ideal gas expands according to the law P^2V = constant. On expansion, the temperature — States of Matter and Gaseous State Chemistry Question

💡 Solution & Explanation

p^2 × v = k. from ideal gas law, p = nrt/v. substituting p: (nrt/v)^2 × v = k → t^2 / v = k' (constant) → t^2 ∝ v → t ∝ √v. as the gas expands (v increases), temperature t increases.
