Gas Laws

Question 6 • LA-Chemistry A

Which law is described by saying that doubling the absolute temperature will double the pressure of a sample of gas in a rigid container?

Answer
A
Boyle’s law
B
Charles’s law
C
Dalton’s law
D
Gay-Lussac’s law

Explanation

For a gas in a rigid container, the volume stays constant, so its pressure is directly proportional to its absolute temperature. This relationship is Gay-Lussac’s law: doubling the temperature in kelvins doubles the pressure. Boyle’s law relates pressure and volume, while Charles’s law relates volume and temperature.
