Gas laws: JAMB Physics Past Questions and Answers
What the JAMB syllabus covers in Gas laws
Our summary: How the pressure, volume and temperature of a gas are linked, from Boyle's law to the ideal gas equation.
- Boyle's law (isothermal process)
- Charles' law (isobaric process)
- Pressure law (volumetric process)
- Absolute zero of temperature
- General gas equation ($\frac{PV}{T} = \text{constant}$)
- Ideal gas equation (e.g., $PV = nRT$)
- Van der Waals gas
Objectives
- interpret the gas laws;
- use expression of these laws to solve numerical problems;
- interpret Van der Waals equation for one mole of a real gas.
