About Boyle's, Charles's, and Related Gas Laws

Boyle's, Charles's, and Gay-Lussac's laws describe the relationships between pressure, volume, and temperature of a gas. The combined gas law unifies these relationships for changing conditions.

Key Laws & Formulas:

  • Boyle's Law: P₁V₁ = P₂V₂ (constant T)
  • Charles's Law: V₁/T₁ = V₂/T₂ (constant P)
  • Gay-Lussac's Law: P₁/T₁ = P₂/T₂ (constant V)
  • Combined Gas Law: P₁V₁/T₁ = P₂V₂/T₂

Units:

  • Pressure: Pa, atm, bar, psi
  • Volume: m³, L, mL
  • Temperature: K, °C, °F (always convert to K for calculations)

Applications:

  • Gas compression and expansion
  • Breathing and respiration
  • Weather balloons and atmospheric science
  • Industrial gas storage and transport
  • Refrigeration and air conditioning

Law Analysis:

  • Boyle's Law: At constant temperature, pressure and volume are inversely proportional.
  • Charles's Law: At constant pressure, volume and temperature are directly proportional.
  • Gay-Lussac's Law: At constant volume, pressure and temperature are directly proportional.
  • Combined Gas Law: Relates pressure, volume, and temperature for a fixed amount of gas.
