2. Charles’ Law (Temperature-Volume Relationship)
1
Charies' Law states that the volume of a given mass of a gas increases or, decreases by 574-75 of the
volume at 0°C for each degree rise or fall in temperature respectively, provided pressure is kept constant.
(273.15 +t)
MoM rare)
Charles’ Law can otherwise be stated as the volume occupied by a given mass of a gas is directly
proportional to the absolute temperature of the gas al constant pressure.

3. Gay Lussac’s Law (Pressure -Temperature Relationship) :
At constant volume, the pressure of a fixed amount of a gas is directly proportional to the tempera-
ture.

4. Avogadro's Law (Volume-Amount Relationship) :
Avogadro's Law states that the equal volume of all gases under the same conditions of temperature and pres-
sure contain equal number of moles or molecules.

This is the basis of Avogadro's law which states that
“Equal volumes of all gases at same temperature and pressure contain equal numbers of molecules”

Example 4: Deepa was studying properties of gases. She took a flask and filed it with sulphur dioxide gas,
and weighed it at temperature T and pressure P. The weight of the flask containing the gas was
found to be W,. She then flushed the flask, cleaned and filled it with methane at
the same temperature and pressure. The weight of the flask containing oxygen was found to be
W,. She repeated the process with oxygen under the same conditions and
found the weight to be W,. The ratio of the weights W, : W, : W, is

gas present in the mixture”
