Gay-Lussacs Law
Gay-Lussacs law states
the pressure (P) of a gas is
directly related to its
temperature (K) when V and n
are constant
if the pressure (P) increases,
then the temperature (K) also
increases
Gay-Lussacs Law
Gay-Lussacs law is a direct relationship between
pressure and temperature.
Learning Check
A gas has a pressure of 2.0 atm at 18 C.
What is the new pressure when the
temperature is 62 C (V and n constant)?
Solution
A gas has a pressure of 2.0 atm at 18 C.

Step 1 Organize the data in a table of initial
and final conditions. We can predict
that as T increases, P increases.
