law is a gas law
Law?
which states that the pressure
exerted by a gas (of a given mass
and kept at a constant volume)
varies directly with the absolute
temperature of the gas. In other
words, the pressure exerted by a
gas is proportional to the
temperature of the gas when the
mass is fixed, and the volume is
ehaviors of gases in Gay Lussac’s Law
Relationship of Pressure & Temperature
• P1= P2(T1/T2)
• T1= T2(P1/P2)
• P2=P1(T2/T1)
• T2=T1(P2/P1)
Convert the Temperature to Kelvin
When applying the Gay-Lussac’s law, the
temperature must be first converted to kelvin.
Below shows the formula to convert the
temperature to kelvin:
K= °C +
273.15

Sample Problems
1.) The gas in an aerosol can is under a pressure of 3.00
atm at temperature of 25 °C. It is dangerous to dispose an
aerosol can by incineration. What would the pressure in
the aerosol can be at a temperature of 845 °C?
2.) If a gas in a closed container is pressurize from 15.0
atm to 16.0 atm and its original temperature was 25.0 °C,
what would the final temperature of the gas be in degrees
Celcius?
