Gas laws Gas laws Avogadro's law is one of the gas laws. The law is named after Amedeo Avogadro, who in 1811 hypothesized that equal volumes of gases, at the same temperature and pressure, contain the same number of particles, or molecules. Thus, the number of molecules in a specific volume of gas is independent of the size or mass of the gas molecules.(See: this site for an English translation of his 1811 paper). ...more on Wikipedia about "Avogadro's law"
Boyle's law (sometimes known as the Boyle Mariotte law) is one of the gas laws. Boyle's Law is named after the Irish natural philosopher Robert Boyle (1627-1691) who discovered it in 1662. Edme Mariotte (1620-1684) was a French physicist who discovered the same law independently of Boyle in 1676, so this law is often known as Mariotte's or Mariotte Boyle law. ...more on Wikipedia about "Boyle's law"
Charles's law (sometimes called the Law of Charles and Gay-Lussac) is one of the gas laws. The law was first published by Joseph Louis Gay-Lussac in 1802, but he referenced unpublished work by Jacques Charles from around 1787. This reference has led to the law being attributed to Charles. The relationship had been anticipated by the work of Guillaume Amontons in 1702. ...more on Wikipedia about "Charles's law"
The combined gas law is a gas law which combines Charles's law, Boyle's law, and Gay-Lussac's law. In each of these laws, pressure, temperature, and volume, respectively, must remain constant for the law to be true. In the combined gas law, any of these properties can be found mathematically. ...more on Wikipedia about "Combined gas law"
In physics, Dalton's law (also called Dalton's law of partial pressure) is a law that states that the total pressure exerted by a gaseous mixture is equal to the sum of the partial pressures of each individual component in a gas mixture. ...more on Wikipedia about "Dalton's law"
The gas laws are a set of laws that describe the relationship between thermodynamic temperature (T), pressure (P) and volume (V) of gases. Three of these laws, Boyle's law, Charles's law, and Gay-Lussac's law, may be combined to form the combined gas law ...more on Wikipedia about "Gas laws"
Gay-Lussac's law was named after the French chemist Joseph Louis Gay-Lussac. There are two laws that are attributed to Gay-Lussac which relate to the properties of gases, and are known by the same name. ...more on Wikipedia about "Gay-Lussac's law"
Graham's law, also known as Graham's law of effusion, was formulated by Thomas Graham. Graham found experimentally that the rate of effusion of a gas is inversely proportional to the square root of the mass of its particles. This formula can be written as: ...more on Wikipedia about "Graham's law"
The ideal gas law or equation is the equation of state of an ideal gas. The state of the gas is its current condition. Its condition is determined by its pressure, volume, temperature and number of moles. It combines the three primitive gas laws formulated by early physics researchers Robert Boyle, Jacques Charles, and Amedeo Avogadro (see also Boyle's law, Charles's law, Gay-Lussac's law, combined gas law, and Avogadro's law). Gases that obey this equation are said to behave ideally. The equation has the form: ...more on Wikipedia about "Ideal gas law"
