Lesson 11

Gay-Lussac's Law: The pressure of a given amount of gas is directly proportional to temperature if the gas volume and amount of gas do not change. Temperature must be Kelvin.

Flexible Container: Changing temp or pressure to make the volume change. Charles' law applies when pressure is the constant. Boyle's law applies when temperature is the constant.

Rigid Container: Changing the temperature or pressure. Volume is a constant. Applies to Gay-Lussac's law.

Practice Problems
2. A flexible container requires changing the temperature of pressure to make the volume change. When pressure is constant Charles' law applies and when temperature is constant Boyle's law applies. A rigid container only applies to Gay-Lussac's law because volume is the constant because in a rigid container there is now where to gain or lose volume.
