In this lesson, we will learn how to use the formula P/T = constant (Gay-Lussac’s law) to calculate the pressure or temperature of a gas that is heated or cooled at a constant volume.

Lesson Plan

Students will be able to

know that, for an ideal gas at constant volume, the pressure, , of the gas is proportional to the temperature, ,
use , where is a constant, to determine the pressure or temperature of a gas before or after a thermodynamic process that keeps the volume constant.
