Basic Gas Law Definition Flashcards
BOYLE’S LAW
Increasing volume
At constant temperature the volume of a given mass of gas varies inversely with pressure.
PV=k
Gay-Lussac’s law
Gay-Lussac’s law states that for a given amount of gas held at constant volume, the pressure is proportional to the absolute temperature:
The volume and mass of gas within the sealed unit of the Bourdon gauge remains constant.
Pressure (P) / Temperature (T) = Constant (k)
Charles’s law:
At constant pressure the volume of a given mass of gas varies directly with absolute temperature (Kelvin).
As the temperature increases the the molecules of the volume of gas increase their speed and pressure increases.
V/T = k
Henry’s Law
At a constant temperature, the amount of a given gas dissolved in a given type and volume of liquid is directly proportional to the partial pressure of that gas in equilibrium with that liquid.
