Can we use Boyle's law to calculate the volume of a real gas from its initial state to final state during adiabatic expansion?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

No, we cannot use Boyle's law to calculate volume during adiabatic expansion because temperature is lowered during adiabatic expansion, i.e., temperature does not remain constant, which violates Boyle's law.
