    Gas Laws: Pressure Temperature Gas Boyle's Law Robert Boyle Charles's Law

    Uploaded by

    Saad Khan
    The document discusses gas laws, which relate the pressure, volume, and temperature of gases. It describes Boyle's law, which states that at constant temperature, the pressure and volume of a gas are inversely proportional. It also describes Charles's law, which states that at constant pressure, the volume of a gas is directly proportional to its temperature. These laws can be combined to form the ideal gas law, which approximates the behavior of real gases.

    Gas laws, laws that relate the pressure, volume, and temperature of


    a gas. Boyle’s law—named for Robert Boyle—states that, at constant
    temperature, the pressure P of a gas varies inversely with its volume V,
    or PV = k, where k is a constant. Charles’s law—named for J.-A.-C.
    Charles (1746–1823)—states that, at constant pressure, the
    volume V of a gas is directly proportional to its absolute (Kelvin)
    temperature T, or V/T = k. These two laws can be combined to form
    the ideal gas law, a single generalization of the behaviour of gases
    known as an equation of state, PV = nRT, where n is the number of
    gram-moles of a gas and R is called the universal gas constant. Though
    this law describes the behaviour of an ideal gas, it closely
    approximates the behaviour of real gases. See also Joseph Gay-Lussac.
