Gay-Lussac’s law states that the pressure of a gas is directly proportional to the absolute temperature of the gas, provided the volume is held constant.
What is Gay Lussac’s Law?
The law states that the volume of a gas is directly proportional to the absolute temperature of the gas. This means that if the temperature is increased, the volume of the gas will also increase.
Ideal Gas Equation –
PV = nRT
The ideal gas equation is PV = nRT, where P is the pressure of the gas, V is the volume of the gas, n is the number of moles of gas, R is the ideal gas constant, and T is the temperature of the gas. This equation states that the pressure of a gas is proportional to the volume of the gas, the number of moles of gas, and the temperature of the gas.
Gay Lussac’s Law Graph
Gay Lussac’s law states that the pressure of a given amount of gas is directly proportional to the Kelvin temperature of the gas. In mathematical terms, this law is expressed as P ∝ T.
The graph illustrates Gay Lussac’s law. The y-axis shows the pressure of the gas, while the x-axis shows the Kelvin temperature. The line on the graph shows that as the temperature increases, the pressure also increases.
Gay Lussac’s Law of Gaseous Volumes
The volume of a gas is proportional to the number of atoms or molecules in it.
