 * __Gay-Lussac's Law__**

This law was discovered in 1809, and describes the relationship between temperature and pressure. This law is also known as the law of combining gases. It states the if you increase the temperature then that pressure will also increase. It also happens the other way too, if you decrease the temperature than the pressure also decreases.

P1__=****__P2__ T1 T2 P1=** first pressure
 * __Equation:
 * P2=** second pressure
 * T1=** first temperature (in Kelvin)
 * T2=** second temperature (in Kelvin)

The gas in a container is at a pressure of 3.0atm at 25C. Directions on the container warn the user not to keep in a place where the temperature exceeds 52C.What would the gas pressure in the container be at, at 52C?
 * __Sample Problem__...**

To solve this problem first start with the equation... __P1__=__P2__ T1 T2

Then isolate the ungiven term, in this case that is P2...Multiply bothe sides by T2 __P1 T2__=P2 T1

Then plug in values... __3atm x 325K__= P2 298K

Then solve... P2= 3.27 atm
