Gay+Lussac+K.Raithel

=Gay Lussac's Law= In 1802 Joseph Gay-Lussac recognized the relationship between pressure and temperature to be directly proportional to eachother. The law states that the pressure of a fixed mass of gas at constant volumes varies directly with the Kelvin temperature.

P=kT P/T=k P1/T1=P2/T2
 * The Math:**


 * Example:** The gas in a container is at a pressure of 3.00 atm at 25 degrees C. What would the pressure be in the contain at 54 degrees C?


 * Solution**
 * 1) Rearrange equation to get P2 by itself. P2=P1T2/T1
 * 2) Plug in the values from the given equation. (3.00 atm)(327 K)/298K=3.29 atm
