GAS LAWS
BOYLE’s LAW For a fixed mass of gas at constant temperature (T), the pressure (P) is inversely proportional to the volume (V)
P
1/V
GAS LAWS
CONSTANT-VOLUME LAW . If the volume of a fixed mass of gas is held constant, the pressure (P) is directly proportional to the temperature (T)
P

GAS LAWS
CHARLES’ LAW For a fixed mass of gas at constant pressure (P), the volume (V) is proportional to the temperature (T)
V

GAS LAWS Combination of the three laws
PV = RT
(constant)
GAS LAWS
HENRY’s LAW At constant temperature (T), the amount of gas which dissolves in a liquid with which it is in contact is proportional to the partial pressure of that gas
