What is Gay Lussac’s law formula? The law of Gay-Lussac is a variant of the ideal gas law where the volume of gas is held constant. The pressure of a gas is directly proportional to its temperature while the volume is kept constant. P / T = constant or Pi / Ti = Pf /… Continue reading FAQs

Exercise 1 The pressure of a gas in a cylinder when it is heated to a temperature of 250K is 1.5 atm. What was the initial temperature of the gas if its initial pressure was 1 atm? Given, Initial pressure, P1 = 1 atm Final pressure, P2 = 1.5 atm Final temperature, T2 = 250 K As per… Continue reading Solved Exercises on Gay-Lussac`s Law

When a pressurized aerosol can (such as a deodorant can or a spray-paint can) is heated, the resulting increase in the pressure exerted by the gases on the container (owing to Gay-Lussac’s law) can result in an explosion. This is the reason why many pressurized containers have warning labels stating that the container must be… Continue reading Examples of Gay-Lussac`s Law

Gay-Lussac’s law implies that the ratio of the initial pressure and temperature is equal to the ratio of the final pressure and temperature for a gas of a fixed mass kept at a constant volume. This formula can be expressed as follows: (P1/T1) = (P2/T2) Where: P1 is the initial pressure T1 is the initial temperature P2 is… Continue reading Formula and Derivation

Gay-Lussac’s law is a gas 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… Continue reading What is Gay-Lussac`s Law?

Propane tanks are extensively used in the kitchen. It’s not enjoyable, however, to discover you’ve run out of gas halfway through a meal. On a hot day, gauges are used to measure the pressure inside gas tanks that read greater than on a cool day. When deciding whether or not to replace the tank before… Continue reading Gay-Lussac`s Law
