GAS LAW FOR DUMMIES

a lot of secondary school students struggle with memorizing the gas laws, but once you recall the general gas equation, you are good to go.
the general gas equation:
 = = K
this equation was derived by combining Charles's and Boyles's law.
Charles's law:
 = = K
=K
V = TK

Charles's law states that the VOLUME of a given mass of gas is directly proportional to it's given TEMPERATURE, provided the pressure remains constant.
Boyles's law:
P1V1 = P2V2 =K
P2V2=K
V=
V

Boyles's law states that the VOLUME of a given mass of gas is directly proportional to it's given PRESSURE, provided the temperature remains constant.
to be continued!!!
