Empirical laws of gases
Empirical laws of gases describe how gases behave based on observations. Boyle’s Law states that if you keep the temperature and amount of gas steady, increasing pressure decreases volume. Charles’s Law shows that at constant pressure, raising temperature makes the gas expand, increasing volume. Gay-Lussac’s Law indicates that fixing volume and amount, increasing temperature raises pressure. These laws highlight the relationships between pressure, volume, and temperature in gases, helping us predict how gases respond to changing conditions. They are fundamental in understanding and designing systems involving gases, like engines, balloons, and weather forecasting.
