Basic Gas Law Definition

Question 1

BOYLE’S LAW

Answer 1

Increasing volume

At constant temperature the volume of a given mass of gas varies inversely with pressure.

PV=k

Question 2

Gay-Lussac’s law

Answer 2

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)

Question 3

Charles’s law:

Answer 3

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

Question 4

Henry’s Law

Answer 4

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.
