- 14.3: Boyle's Law
- The behavior of gases can be modeled with gas laws. Boyle’s law relates a gas’s pressure and volume at constant temperature and amount.
- 14.4: Charles's Law
- Charles’s law relates a gas’s volume and temperature at constant pressure and amount. In gas laws, temperatures must always be expressed in kelvins.
- 14.5: Gay-Lussac's Law
- Gay-Lussac's Law states that the pressure of a given mass of gas varies directly with the absolute temperature of the gas, when the volume is kept constant. Gay-Lussac's Law is very similar to Charles's Law, with the only difference being the type of container. Whereas the container in a Charles's Law experiment is flexible, it is rigid in a Gay-Lussac's Law experiment.
- 14.6: Combined Gas Law
- The combined gas law expresses the relationship between the pressure, volume, and absolute temperature of a fixed amount of gas. For a combined gas law problem, only the amount of gas is held constant.
- 14.14: Dalton's Law of Partial Pressures
- ton's law of partial pressures states that the total pressure of a mixture of gases is equal to the sum of all of the partial pressures of the component gases.
