Why does the volume of a gas increase on increasing its number of moles at a given temperature and pressure?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

According to Avogadro's law, at a given temperature and pressure the volume (V) of a gas is directly proportional to its number of moles (N), i.e., `V prop n`. Therefore, if the number of moles of a gas is increased at a constant temperature and pressure, its volume will increase.
