Question

Which law states that the pressure and absolute temperature of a fixed quantity of gas are directly proportional under constant volume conditions?
Boyle’s law
Charles’s law
Dalton’s law
Gay-Lussac’s law

Answer 1

Answer:

Gay-Lussac’s law

Explanation:

Gay-Lussac’s law is one of the gas laws discovered and proposed by a French scientist called Joseph Gay Lussac (1778 - 1850). In this law, it is stated that the pressure (P) of a gas varies directly with the absolute temperature (T) at a constant volume.

That is;

: P ∝ T

: P/T = K

Where:

P = pressure exerted by the gas

T = absolute temperature of the gas

K = the constant.

Hence, according to this question, the law that states that "the pressure and absolute temperature of a fixed quantity of gas are directly proportional under constant volume conditions" is Gay-Lussac’s law.
