Combined gas law
Combined Gas Law is a gas law that combines Charles's law, Boyle's law, and Gay-Lussac's law. It states that the ratio of the product of pressure-volume and temperature of a system is constant for a given mass of confined gas regardless of changes in either pressure volume or temperature.
History[edit | edit source]
The Combined Gas Law was developed over time, building on the discoveries of several scientists including Robert Boyle, Jacques Charles, and Joseph Louis Gay-Lussac. These individual laws were combined into the single Combined Gas Law to provide a more comprehensive understanding of the behavior of gases.
Formula[edit | edit source]
The formula for the Combined Gas Law is:
- P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2
Where:
- P1 and P2 represent the initial and final pressure of the gas
- V1 and V2 represent the initial and final volume of the gas
- T1 and T2 represent the initial and final absolute temperature of the gas
Applications[edit | edit source]
The Combined Gas Law has numerous applications in fields such as chemistry, physics, and engineering. It is used to predict the behavior of gases in a variety of situations, including changes in pressure, volume, and temperature.
