AM+GAY-LUSSAC'S+LAW


 * Gay-Lussac's Law:** States that the pressure of a fixed mass of gas at constant volume varies directly with the Kelvin temperature.


 * Formula:**



To solve for pressure-temperature problems use the following equation:
 * P1/T1=P2/T2**

Given: P1 of gas = 4.00 atm T1 of gas = 30 degrees celsius + 273 = 303 K T2 of gas = 50 degrees celsius + 273 = 323 K Unknown: P2 of gas in atm P1/T1 = P2/T2 Switch the equation around so it ends up like P2 = P1T2/T1 Then plug in the Numbers P2 = (4.00 atm)(323 K) / 303K Cancel out the K's so your left with atms
 * Example Problem:**
 * Answer: 4.26 atms**
