5.2: The Gas Laws of Boyle, Charles, and Avogadro

14.3: The Simple Gas Laws- Boyle’s Law, Charles’s Law and Avogadro’s Law

Here is a short, simple summary of the main gas laws: Boyle’s Law At constant temperature, pressure is inversely proportional to volume. � � Charles’s Law At constant pressure, volume is directly proportional to temperature (in Kelvin). � � Gay-Lussac’s Law At constant volume, pressure is directly proportional to temperature (in Kelvin). � � Avogadro’s Law At constant temperature and pressure, volume is directly proportional to number of moles. More moles → larger volume � Combined/Ideal Gas Law
