compressed gas laws

Compressed gas laws describe how gases behave when their pressure, volume, or temperature change. Essentially, if you increase the pressure on a gas in a fixed space, it becomes denser and occupies less volume. If you stretch the gas out (increase volume), pressure drops if temperature remains constant. Heating a gas causes it to expand if volume is fixed, raising pressure. These relationships are summarized in laws like Boyle’s Law (pressure and volume), Charles’s Law (temperature and volume), and Gay-Lussac’s Law (pressure and temperature). Together, they explain how gases respond predictably to changes in environmental conditions.
