- Pressure Law or Gay-Lussac’s Law
The way in which the pressure of a gas changes with its temperature, at constant volume, is given by Gay-Lussac’s Law.
There are two ways of stating this law
1. The pressure of a fixed mass of gas at constant volume increases by \(\frac{1}{273}\)of its pressure at 0ºC for every degree (Celsius or Kelvin) rise in temperature.
This can be written in symbols as:
\(\scriptsize P_t = P_0 \left ( \scriptsize 1 \: + \: \normalsize \frac{1}{273} \right )\)
