The Ideal Gas Law

Question 10 • LA-Chemistry A

Which law states that the pressure and absolute temperature of a fixed quantity of gas are directly proportional under constant volume conditions?

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

Explanation

Gay-Lussac’s law states that for a fixed quantity of gas at constant volume, pressure is directly proportional to absolute temperature. In other words, as the gas’s temperature in kelvins increases, its pressure increases proportionally. Boyle’s law instead relates pressure and volume, while Charles’s law relates volume and temperature.
