"Charles's law Charles's law (also known as the law of volumes) is an experimental gas law that describes how gases tend to expand when heated. A modern statement of Charles's law is: When the pressure on a sample of a dry gas is held constant, the Kelvin temperature and the volume will be in direct proportion. This directly proportional relationship can be written as: or where: This law describes how a gas expands as the temperature increases; conversely, a decrease in temperature will lead to a decrease in volume. For comparing the same substance under two different sets of conditions,"
"Stanislao Cannizzaro was able to convince the First International Chemical Congress in 1860. This law is often referred to as Gay-Lussac's law of pressure–temperature, between 1800 and 1802, discovered the relationship between the pressure and temperature of a fixed mass of gas kept at a constant volume. Gay Lussac discovered this while building an ""air thermometer"". The pressure of a gas of fixed mass and fixed volume is directly proportional to the gas's absolute temperature. If a gas's temperature increases, then so does its pressure if the mass and volume of the gas are held constant. The law has a"
"Gay-Lussac's law Gay-Lussac's law can refer to several discoveries made by French chemist Joseph Louis Gay-Lussac (1778–1850) and other scientists in the late 18th and early 19th centuries pertaining to thermal expansion of gases and the relationship between temperature, volume, and pressure. It states that the pressure of a given mass of gas varies directly with the absolute temperature of the gas, when the volume is kept constant. Mathematically, it can be written as: P/T=constant, Gay-Lussac is most often recognized for the Pressure Law which established that the pressure of an enclosed gas is directly proportional to its temperature and"

For comparing the same substance under two different sets of conditions, the law can be usefully expressed as The equation shows that, as volume increases, the pressure of the gas decreases in proportion. Similarly, as volume decreases, the pressure of the gas increases. The law was named after chemist and physicist Robert Boyle, who published the original law in 1662. This relationship"

However, the ideal gas law is a good approximation for most gases under moderate pressure and temperature. This law has the following important consequences: or Gas laws The gas laws were developed at the end of the 18th century, when scientists began to realize that relationships between pressure, volume and"
"Avogadro's law Avogadro's law (sometimes referred to as Avogadro's hypothesis or Avogadro's principle) is an experimental gas law relating the volume of a gas to the amount of substance of gas present. The law is a specific case of the ideal gas law. A modern statement is: Avogadro's law states that, ""equal volumes of all gases, at the same temperature and pressure, have the same number of molecules."" For a given mass of an ideal gas, the volume and amount (moles) of the gas are directly proportional if the temperature and pressure are constant. The law is named after Amedeo"
"which he was the first to formulate (c. 1808). He is also sometimes credited, rightfully according to many modern scholars, with being the first to publish convincing evidence that shows the relationship between the pressure and temperature of a fixed mass of gas kept at a constant volume."""" These laws are also known variously as the Pressure Law or Amontons's law and Dalton's law respectively. The law of combining volumes states that, when gases react together to form other gases, and when all volumes are measured at the same temperature and pressure The ratio between the volumes of the reactant"
"1662 Robert Boyle studied the relationship between volume and pressure of a gas of fixed amount at constant temperature. He observed that volume of a given mass of a gas is inversely proportional to its pressure at a constant temperature. Boyle's law, published in 1662, states that, at constant temperature, the product of the pressure and volume of a given mass of an ideal gas in a closed system is always constant. It can be verified experimentally using a pressure gauge and a variable volume container. It can also be derived from the kinetic theory of gases: if a container,"

The law itself can be stated as follows: Or Boyle's law is a gas law, stating that the pressure and volume of a gas have an inverse relationship, when temperature is held constant. If volume increases, then pressure decreases and vice versa, when temperature is held constant. Therefore, when the volume is halved, the pressure is doubled; and if the volume is doubled, the pressure is halved. Boyle's law states that ""at constant temperature"" the volume of a given mass of a dry gas is"

Gay-Lussac credited Charles' earlier work by naming the law in his honor. Gay-Lussac himself is credited with the law describing pressure, which he found in 1809.

However, later work revealed that the number should actually be closer to 273.2, and then the Celsius scale was defined with 0°C = 273.15K, giving: In 1873, J.

"of any gas has a pressure (P) at temperature (T) in Kelvin. The relationship for these variables, P V = n R T, where R is known as the gas constant, is called the ideal gas law or equation of state. To account for the volume that a real gas molecule takes up, the van der Waals equation replaces ""V"" in the ideal gas law with ""(V-b)"", where ""b"" is the volume per mole that is occupied by the molecules. This leads to: The second modification made to the ideal gas law accounts for the fact that gas molecules do"

Avogadro's Law states that the relationship between the masses of the same volume of all gases (at the same temperature and pressure) corresponds to the relationship between their respective molecular weights. Hence, the relative molecular mass of a gas can be calculated from the mass of sample of known volume. Avogadro developed this hypothesis after Joseph Louis Gay-Lussac had published in 1808 his law on volumes (and combining gases). The greatest problem Avogadro had to resolve was the confusion at that time regarding atoms"
"Boyle's law Boyle's law, sometimes referred to as the Boyle–Mariotte law, or Mariotte's law (especially in France), is an experimental gas law that describes how the pressure of a gas tends to increase as the volume of the container decreases.

Boyle's law is used to predict the result of introducing a change, in volume and pressure only, to the initial state of a fixed quantity of gas. The initial and final volumes and pressures of the fixed amount of gas, where the initial and final temperatures are the same (heating or cooling will be required to meet this condition), are related by the equation: Here ""P"" and ""V"" represent the original pressure and volume, respectively, and ""P"" and ""V"" represent the second pressure and volume.

The relation is: formula_1, where ""C"" is the molar specific heat at constant pressure, ""C"" is the specific heat at constant volume and ""R"" is the gas constant. For more general homogeneous substances, not just ideal gases, the difference takes the form, (see relations between heat capacities), where formula_3 is the heat capacity of a body at constant pressure, formula_4 is the heat capacity at constant volume, formula_5 is the volume, formula_6 is the temperature,"

Given the relative technology available to both men, Amontons was only able to work with air as a gas, where Gay-Lussac was able to experiment with multiple types of common gases, such as oxygen, nitrogen, and hydrogen. Gay-Lussac did attribute his findings to Jacques Charles because he used much of Charles's unpublished data from 1787 –"

In 1808 Gay-Lussac announced what was probably his single greatest achievement: from his own and others' experiments he deduced that gases at constant temperature and pressure combine in simple numerical proportions by volume, and the resulting product or products—if gases—also bear a simple proportion by volume to the volumes of the reactants. In other words, gases under equal conditions of temperature and pressure react with one another in volume ratios of small whole numbers. This conclusion subsequently became known as ""Gay-Lussac's law"" or the ""Law of Combining Volumes"". With his fellow professor at the École"
