Laboratory information
Gay-Lussac's law allows us to study the behavior of gases and is often studied in physics and chemistry. It relates the pressure of a gas with its temperature, while other parameters such as volume and amount remain constant.
There are various way to verify Gay-Lussac's law. In this experiment we will verify that, for a given amount of the gas, the pressure is directly proportional to the temperature.

This studies the behavior of gases and relates gas pressure to temperature. Other parameters such as volume and amount of substance are held constant. To be able to carry out this task, some prerequisites are required:
- Know the general characteristics of gases.
- Know the definitions of basic concepts such as pressure, temperature, and volume.

This studies the behavior of gases and relates gas pressure to temperature. Other parameters such as volume and amount of substance are held constant. (This is the version with a solution. The version without a solution is available as another activity.) To be able to carry out this task, some prerequisites are required:
- Know the general characteristics of gases.
- Know the definitions of basic concepts such as pressure, temperature, and volume.
