History
What year was Gay-Lussac born?
1778
How do you convert from K to °C?
K = C° + 273.15
What has to remain constant in Gay-Lussac's law?
Volume
What type of container is needed to effectively demonstrate Gay-Lussac's law?
a rigid container
By gathering measurements and collecting samples in hydrogen-filled balloons
What is 40°C in K?
313.15 K
According to Gay-Lussac's law, are pressure and temperature directly proportional or inversely proportional?
directly proportional
Why does pressure increase in a pressure cooker? (use Gay-Lussac's law to get full points)
it increases because the cooker heats up, and according to Gay-Lussac's law, increasing heat increases the pressure/
Which revolution(s) did Gay-Lussac live through?
The French and chemical revolutions
What is 225 K in °C?
-48.15°C
What is the main idea of Gay-Lussac's law?
When the mass and volume of an ideal gas remain constant, the pressure exerted is directly proportional to its absolute temperature
It allows them to move faster, thus increasing the pressure.
What school was Gay-Lussac chosen to attend?
École Polytechnique
The pressure of a gas in a cylinder is 6 atm at 27°C. What would the final pressure of the gas be if it was heated to 77°C?
Pf = 7 atm
What temperature unit(s) cannot be used with Gay-Lussac's Law?
Fahrenheit or Celsius
What is the definition of pressure?
force per unit area
In which year(s) did Gay-Lussac come to the conclusion that gases expand as temperature increases?
1801-1802
The pressure inside a scuba tank after it cools from 340.0 K to 22.0°C is 203 atm. Calculate the initial pressure.
Pi = 234 atm
Name 3 units of pressure that can be used with Gay-Lussac's law.
torr, kilopascals, atmospheres, pounds per square inch
what type of energy do gas particles gain when they are heated?
kinetic energy
