Gay-Lussac's Law

Problem 1:
A gas sample initially has a pressure of 2 atm at a temperature of 25°C. If the temperature is increased to
75°C while the volume remains constant, what will be the new pressure?

Solution 1:
Using Gay-Lussac's Law, we can set up the following proportion:

P1 / T1 = P2 / T2

Plugging in the values:


2 atm / (25 + 273) K = P2 / (75 + 273) K

Simplifying the equation, we find:


P2 = (2 atm * (75 + 273) K) / (25 + 273) K
P2 ≈ 8.3 atm

Therefore, the new pressure will be approximately 8.3 atm.

Problem 2:
A gas at a pressure of 3 atm and a temperature of 300 K is heated until the pressure becomes 6 atm. What
is the final temperature?

Solution 2:
Again, using Gay-Lussac's Law, we can set up the proportion:

P1 / T1 = P2 / T2

Plugging in the values:


3 atm / 300 K = 6 atm / T2

Simplifying the equation, we find:


T2 = (300 K * 6 atm) / 3 atm
T2 = 600 K

Therefore, the final temperature will be 600 K.


Problem 3:
A gas sample has a volume of 5 L and a pressure of 2 atm at a temperature of 27°C. If the temperature is
increased to 100°C while the volume remains constant, what will be the new pressure?

Solution 3:
Using Gay-Lussac's Law, we can set up the following proportion:

P1 / T1 = P2 / T2

T2 ≈ 242 K

Therefore, the final temperature will be approximately 242 K.
