What happens to the pressure of a gas if its temperature increases at constant volume?
Think about how heating a closed container affects the pressure.
Is Absolute Temperature used in Kelvin or Celsius?
Which temperature scale begins at absolute zero?
According to Gay-Lussac's Law, what happens to a gas's pressure if its temperature is increased while volume remains constant?
Remember the direct relationship.
True or False: Gay-Lussac’s Law applies to gases at varying volumes.
Think about when the law holds true.
A cylinder has a gas at an initial pressure of 200 kPa at 25°C. If the temperature rises to 95°C, what will the new pressure be?
Convert to Kelvin: 25°C = 298 K, 95°C = 368 K.
Discuss the implications of Gay-Lussac's Law in aviation when considering changes in cabin pressure during ascent.
