Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the relationship between pressure and temperature in Gay-Lussac's Law?
  • Step 1: Understand that Gay-Lussac's Law deals with gases.
  • Step 2: Know that pressure is the force exerted by gas particles on the walls of a container.
  • Step 3: Recognize that temperature measures how fast the gas particles are moving.
  • Step 4: Remember that Gay-Lussac's Law states that if the volume of the gas does not change, an increase in temperature will cause an increase in pressure.
  • Step 5: Conversely, if the temperature decreases, the pressure will also decrease.
  • Step 6: This means pressure and temperature move together: when one goes up, the other goes up, and when one goes down, the other goes down.
