States that the volume of a given mass of gas held at a constant temperature is inversely proportional to its pressure.
Focus on the yellow box molecules. What do you notice?
As the pressure goes up the volume goes down
p 1 v 1 = p 2 v 2 helps calculate the decrease or increase of the pressure of the people in the box
p 1 v 1 = p 2 v 2 Where: P 1 - initial pressure of the gas P 2 - final pressure of the gas V 1 - initial volume of the gas V 2 - final volume of the gas
Problem 1. Suppose you had gas in a 15.0 L container at 5.00 atmospheres pressure, and the volume is decreased to 0.500 L. What is the new pressure in the container?
Given: P 1 = 5.00 atm P 2 = ? V 1 = 15. 0 L V 2 = 0.500 L
Solution p 1 v 1 = p 2 v 2 P 2 = p 1 v 1 v 2
P 2 = P 2= 150 atm (5.00 atm )(15.0 L) 0.500 L

Charle’s Law
Jacques-Alexandre-César Charles French physicist, studied the effect of temperature on the volume of a gas at constant pressure.
States that at constant pressure, the volume of a fixed amount of gas is directly proportional to its absolute temperature. Charles’ Law --Jacques Charles
Charles’ Law Illustration of Charles’ law The volume of the gas is affected by the change in temperature P= k V T
A mathematical expression of Charles’ Law is V 1 T 2 = V 2 T 1 = k V T V T or V= kT V 1 V 2 T 1 T 2 = or when P = k or
Where: V 1 - initial volume of the gas V 2 - final volume of the gas T 1 - initial temperature of the gas T 2 - final temperature of the gas V 1 V 2 T 1 T 2 =
Sample Problems: 1. A 300 ml sample of gas at 125 C is heated to 155 C. What is its final volume when the pressure is kept constant? 2. An inflated balloon has a volume of 185 ml at a temperature of 52 C. What temperature must be reached in order to reduce its volume to half? Assume that the pressure remains constant
Gay-Lussac’s Law Temperature-Pressure relationship
Joseph Louis Gay-Lussac The person who is credited with the determination of the temperature-pressure relationship in gases at constant volume is.
Joseph Louis Gay-Lussac He deduced that the pressure of the gas is directly proportional to its temperature.
Gay-Lussac’s Law This means that when the temperature of gases increases its pressure also increases or vice versa.
Gay-Lussac’s Law State that At constant volume, the pressure of a fixed mass of gas is directly proportional to the absolute temperature.
Gay-Lussac’s Law can be expressed mathematically as P∝ t at constant volume It is can be written as: P= Kt or k= P/T
Gay-Lussac’s Law Since there is a direct proportionality between the pressure and temperature of gases at constant volume, it can be shown in this equation:
