Question

Boyle’s law can be deduced from kinetic theory. True or False?

(a) True

(b) False

Answer 1

Right choice is (a) True

To explain I would say: From the kinetic theory we get: PV=(1/3)mNvrms^2.                                                                                 Vrms^2 depends only on temperature.                                                                                                                                  So, if temperature is constant PV will be constant, which is Boyle’s law.
