Question

Which of the following laws can be used for calculating the volume of gas at a given temperature and pressure?

(a) Boyle’s and Avogadro law

(b) Charle’s and Avogadro law

(c) Charle’s and Dalton’s law

(d) Boyle’s and Charle’s law

I had been asked this question in an interview for job.

The query is from Combustion Calculation topic in chapter Fuels and Combustion of Engineering Chemistry II

Answer 1

Correct answer is (d) Boyle’s and Charle’s law

Best explanation: Boyle’s and Charle’s law can be used for reducing the volume of a gas at a given temperature and pressure to the corresponding volume at any other specific conditions of temperature and pressure with the help of the equation-

(PV)/T = (P1V1)/T1.
