MAIN GAS LAWS Boyle’s Law Charles’ Law Gay-Lussac’s Law These laws are products of various experiments that are done many centuries ago. The Ideal Gas Law can be used to describe the relationship between variables used by the gas laws.
BOYLE’S LAW: Volume-Pressure Relationship
ROBERT BOYLE An Anglo-Irish chemist. Investigated the relationship between pressure and volume of a gas using a J-shaped tube apparatus which was closed to one end. He then proposed that , the volume of a given mass of gas held at constant temperature is inversely proportional to its pressure.

Boyle has shown us that as the volume decreases, the pressure increases, which pertains to an inverse relationship. This relationship is more commonly called Boyle’s Law. This relationship can be expressed in a mathematical way: V ∝ where ∝ means “ proportional to” . To change symbol ∝ to an equal sign, a proportionality constant k, is introduced. Hence, V = ( ) or more simply: PV =

JACQUES ALEXANDRE CHARLES A French Physicist performed an experiment in a balloon , hot water and cold water more than 100 years later after Boyle’s experiment about the volume-pressure relationship. He then proposed that “the Kelvin temperature and the volume of a gas are directly related when there is no change in pressure of a gas ”.

From his experiment, Charles has shown us that as the volume increases and/or decreases, the temperature manifests the same increase and/or decreases, which pertains to a direct relationship. This relationship is more commonly called Charles’ Law .
This relationship can be expressed in a mathematical way: V ∝ T, or more simply, = k, where K is proportional constant. For a given sample of gas under two different conditions at a constant pressure, the equation can be written as: = where and are the initial temperature in Kelvin and Volume, while, , also in Kelvin, and are the final temperature and volume of the same amount of gas at the same pressure.

JOSEPH-LOUIS GAY-LUSSAC - A French Chemist and Physicist. - He proved that one of the postulates in Kinetic Molecular Theory is the effect of temperature on the motion of gas particles. - Year 1802, he conducted and experiment and discovered the relationship between the Temperature and Pressure. He found out that the pressure of the pressure of a gas increased or decreased proportionally with a change in temperature. He summarized his findings in his proposed Gay-Lussac’s Law which states that “the pressure of a fixed amount of a gas is directly proportional to the absolute temperature (Kelvin).

COMBINED GAS LAWS: Volume-Pressure-Temperature Relationship
The three properties of a gas (pressure, volume and temperature) usually change at once under experimental condition. The four possible variations are as follows: 1. Both T and P cause an increase in V. 2. Both T and P cause a decrease in V. 3. T causes an increase in V and P cause a decrease in V. 4. T causes a decrease in V and P cause an increase in V.
The three gas laws (Boyle’s, Charles’ and Gay-Lussac’s laws) discussed earlier can be combined and may be expressed into one equation, = K , and expressed as the Combined Gas Law or the general gas law. Combined Gas Laws allows you to directly solve for the changes in pressure, volume, or temperature. Scientists generally follow the customary reference point of gases which is 0˚C and 1 atm pressure by international agreement. This reference point refers to the Standard Temperature and Pressure or (STP). The temperature can also be expressed as 273 K and standard pressure as 760 torr,760 mmHg and 76 cmHg .

Aside from pressure, volume and temperature, moles may also be combined to the three properties of gas establish the relationship among the four variables affecting the behavior of gases. Boyle’s, Charles’s, Gay-Lussac’s and Avogadro’s Law when combined constitute the ideal Gas Law or ideal gas equation.
