Variables in Boyle’s Law
Pressure and volume
boyle law equation
P1* V1 = P2 * V2
boyles law definition
At constant temperature, the volume of the gas increases as the pressure decreases. The volume of the gas decreases and the pressure increases
Variables in Charles’s Law
Volume and temperature
charles law equation
V1/T1 = V2/T2
charles law definition
the volume of a fixed mass of gas is DIRECTLY PROPORTIONAL to its Kelvin temperature if the pressure is kept constant
Variable in Gay Lussac’s Law
Pressure and temperature
gay lussac equation
P1/T1 = P2/T2
gay lussac law definition
pressure of a gas is DIRECTLY PROPORTIONAL to the KELVIN temperature if the volume remains constant
As temperature of a gas increases
the pressure will increase
As a gas is heated
the volume will increase
If volume of a gas is doubled
the pressure will be cut in half (inverses)

yes
Are gases weightless
no
Are gases easy to compress
yes
Do gases exert pressure
yes

barometer
Who discovered the law of partial pressures
john dalton
Collisions between gas particles are elastic OR inelastic
