The kinetic theory of gases explains the macroscopic properties of gases, such as volume, pressure,
and temperature, as well as transport properties such as viscosity, thermal conductivity and mass
diffusivity. Due to the time reversibility of microscopic dynamics (microscopic reversibility), the
kinetic theory is also connected to the principle of detailed balance, in terms of the fluctuation-
dissipation theorem (for Brownian motion) and the Onsager reciprocal relations.
Historically, the kinetic theory of gases was the first explicit exercise of the ideas of statistical
mechanics.

Boyle’s Law:
Boyle's law, also referred to as the Boyle–Mariotte law, or Mariotte's law (especially in
France), is an experimental gas law that describes the relationship between pressure and volume of
a confined gas. Boyle's law has been stated as:
The absolute pressure exerted by a given mass of an ideal gas is inversely proportional to the
volume it occupies if the temperature and amount of gas remain unchanged within a closed system.
Formula:
P1 V1=P2 V2
CHARLE’S LAW:
Charles's law (also known as the law of volumes) is an experimental gas law that
describes how gases tend to expand when heated. A modern statement of Charles's law
is:
When the pressure on a sample of a dry gas is held constant, the Kelvin temperature
and the volume will be in direct proportion.[1]
V∝T
So this means:
V/T=K,orV=kT
where:
k is a non-zero constant.
This law describes how a gas expands as the temperature increases; conversely, a
decrease in temperature will lead to a decrease in volume. For comparing the same
substance under two different sets of conditions, the law can be written as:
V1/T1=V2/T2
The equation shows that, as absolute temperature increases, the volume of the gas also
increases in proportion.
