Gas Laws
Boyle’s
Law
The volume of a given amount of gas
is inversely proportional to its
pressure at constant temperature.
Robert
Boyle
P 1 V1 = P 2 V2
isotherm
Application
Charles’
Law
The volume of a given amount of gas is
directly proportional to its absolute
temperature at constant pressure.
Jacques
V1 / T1 = V2 / T2 Charles
isobar
Application
Avogadro
’s Law
‘The volume of a gas at a given
temperature pressure is directly
proportional to the number of
moles contained in the volume.’
Amedeo
V1 / n1 = V2 / n2 Avogadro
Application
Gay-
Lussac’s
Law
The pressure of a given amount
of gas is directly proportional
to its absolute temperature at
constant volume.
Joseph Louis
P1 / T1 = P2 / T2 Gay-Lussac

isochoric
Temperature
A gas sample occupies a volume of 2.5 L at a
pressure of 1.5 atm. What would be the volume
of the gas if its pressure is reduced to 1 atm at
the same temperature?
At 30°C, the volume of a sample of air was 5.8
L. What would be the volume of the air sample if
it is heated to 60°C at the same pressure?
1.0 mole of a gas occupies a volume of 22.4 L gas at
0°C and 1 atm. What would be the volume of 7.5
mol of the gas at the same temperature and
pressure?
Calculate the volume that will be occupied
by 20.0 g carbon dioxide at 25°C and 1.25
atm.
The gas inside a balloon has a volume of 15.0 L
at a pressure of 2.0 atm. Calculate the pressure
of the gas if its volume is compressed to 10.0 L
at the same temperature.
Application
A syringe is filled with air to 60 ml at 1
atmosphere. Then the syringe is sealed
and compressed to 20 ml. What is the
final pressure?
