Q

Gay-Lussac’s law

A

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)

Q

Charles’s law:

A

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
