=__GAY LUSSAC'S LAW__=

In 1809, Gay Lussac established Gay Lussac's Law, also known as the Law of Combining Volumes. This law states that if you the temperature of a substance is increased, the pressure of a substance will be increased.

The equation for Gay-Lussac's Law describes the relationship between pressure and temperature.
 * P1/T1=P2/T2**


 * P1**=volume (1st measurement)
 * T1**=temperature (1st measurement)
 * P2**=volume (2nd measurement)
 * T2**=temperature (2nd measurement)

__Sample Problem:__ P1: 760 mm Hg T1: 100 degrees P2: 700mm Hg T2: ?

7.6= 700/T2 __T2= 92.1 degrees__
