chem 100l - introduction to chemistry laboratory - experiment #6
if unsure, calculate both formulas and find which was most constant.

1. write an equation to express the relationship between pressure and temperature (k). use the symbols p, t, and k. write a verbal statement of this law based on the equation.

Explanation:

Step1: Recall Gay - Lussac's Law

For a given mass of gas at constant volume, the pressure $P$ of a gas is directly proportional to its absolute temperature $T$. The proportionality equation is $P = kT$, where $k$ is a constant.

Step2: Write the verbal statement

The pressure of a fixed - mass of gas at constant volume is directly proportional to its absolute temperature.

Answer:

Equation: $P = kT$
Verbal statement: The pressure of a fixed - mass of gas at constant volume is directly proportional to its absolute temperature.
