The Gas Laws

Gas laws describe how gases behave under different conditions. Boyle's Law states that if you increase pressure on a fixed amount of gas at constant temperature, its volume decreases. Charles's Law says that at constant pressure, increasing temperature causes the gas to expand and its volume to increase. Gay-Lussac's Law explains that raising temperature at constant volume increases pressure. The Combined Gas Law combines these principles, showing how pressure, volume, and temperature are interconnected. These laws help explain everyday phenomena, like why a balloon expands in the heat or how a syringe works under different pressures.
