Boyles Law
Relates ______________ and _________________
States: _______________________________________________________
Equation: _______________________
Example: A gas has a beginning pressure of 0.97 atm and a volume of 0.750 L. If the
ending pressure is 1.45 atm, what is the ending volume?

Relates _______________ and _________________
States: ______________________________________________________
Equation: ______________________
Example: A gas has a beginning temperature of 310 K and a volume of 0.425 L. If the
ending temperature is 150 K, what is the ending volume?
Gay-Lussacs Law
Relates ______________ and _________________
States: _______________________________________________________
Equation: _______________________
Example: A gas has a beginning pressure of 0.85 atm and a temperature of 293 K. If the
ending pressure is 2.5 atm, what is the ending temperature?
In this case, the water changes to water vapor but only a little. The total pressure of the
system equals the pressure of the gas being collected plus the pressure of the water vapor.
Example: Oxygen was collected by water displacement. The barometric pressure was
726.0 mm during the experiment. Since the process occurred at 30.0C, the water vapor
pressure was 31.8 mm. What was the partial pressure of the oxygen that was collected?
Equation: _______________________
Example: A gas has a beginning volume of 5.13 L and 2.57 moles. If the ending volume is
3.36 L, what is the ending number of moles?
