Charles Law
Charles law is an experimental gas law that describes how gases tend to expand
when heated. When using Charles law, the temperature must be in kelvin.

V1/T1=V2/T2

V= Volume

T= Temperature
Gay-Lussacs Law
The pressure of a gas is directly proportional to the Kelvin temperature at a
constant volume

The temperature must always be in Kelvin

P = Pressure P1=1.07 P2=?

T = Temperature T1=120 C T2=205C

1.07 x 478 divided by 393= 1.30
Avogadros Principle
Equal values of gases contain equal numbers of moles at a constant temperature and
pressure

One mole = 22.4L at STP V 1=? V2=22.4

V= Volume N 1=0.202 mol N2=1 mol

N= Numbers of Moles V1 22.4

22.4 x .202 = 4.52

Ideal Gas Law
Example
PV/nT = R or PV = nRT
0.39 moles of a given gas is 42L at 2.4 atmospheres.
P = Pressure
What is its temperature?
V = Volume (Liters)
PV = nRT
n = Number of moles
(2.4)(42) = (0.39)(0.0821)(T)
T = Temperature (Kelvin)
100.8 = 0.032019(T)
R = Universal Gas Constants
100.8/0.032019 = (T)
R = 0.0821 for atm
3148.13079734 = T
R = 8.315 for kPA
Daltons Principle Example
P(Total) = P1 + P2 + P3 A tank of a mixture of gases has three different gases
in it: O2, N2, CO2. O2 has a pressure of 2 atm, N2 has
P = Pressure
a pressure of 150 kPa, and CO2 has a pressure of
1 atm 789 mm Hg. What is the total pressure of the
container in kPa?
= 760 mmHg
O2 = 2 atm = 202.6 kPa
= 101.3 kPa
N2 = 150 kPa

CO2 = 789 mm Hg = 105.2 kPa

Total = 457.8 kPa
