  • Gay-Lussac's Law: Pressure and Temperature at Constant Volume Explained
    The law that relates pressure and temperature at a constant volume is Gay-Lussac's Law.

    Here's how it works:

    * Constant Volume: The volume of the gas remains unchanged.

    * Direct Proportionality: As the temperature of the gas increases, the pressure also increases proportionally. This means that if you double the temperature (in Kelvin), you will double the pressure.

    Mathematical Expression:

    Gay-Lussac's Law can be expressed mathematically as:

    P₁/T₁ = P₂/T₂

    Where:

    * P₁ is the initial pressure

    * T₁ is the initial temperature (in Kelvin)

    * P₂ is the final pressure

    * T₂ is the final temperature (in Kelvin)

    Important Note: Temperatures must always be expressed in Kelvin (K) when using this law.
