Gay-Lussac’s Law • Gay-Lussac

discovered that all gases expand equally
over a temperature range. This
Gas Laws observation led to his gas law, which
states that the pressure of a fixed
1. Boyle’s Law - Pressure and Volume amount of gas is directly proportional to
2. Gay-Lussac’s Law - Pressure and its absolute temperature at a constant
Temperature volume.
3. Charles’ Law - Volume and Tempera • P = constant T where T is expressed in

Gas 3. Charles’ Law • If the volume of gas is

Kinetic Molecular Theory

•Gas contains minute particles which are so Effusion is the escape of gases through
small that the volume they occupy is negligible tiny holes -ex. perfume not being used
compared to the volume of the container or the (nauubos)
distance between the container
Diffusions mixing of gases through other
•The gas particles are constantly moving at a
gases -ex. using the same perfume but
rapid random motion such that they collide with
has difference smell
each other and against the walls of the
container.

•The gas particles are considered as hard

spheres such that their collisions are perfectly
elastic. This means that no energy is lost during
the collision.

•The interaction among particles (IMFA), either

attractive or repulsive, is negligible.

3 Gas Laws

1. Boyle’sLaw •The gas particles are very

small compared to the volume they
occupy, thus they are compressible
•This results to an increase in the
pressure of the gas as expressed in the
equation:
PV = constant
P1V1 = P2V2
