Match each gas law with the correct statement.

boyle's law

charles's law

gay-lussac's law

a.
the pressure of a gas varies directly with temperature if the volume is kept constant.

b.
the volume of a gas varies directly with temperature if the pressure is kept constant.

c.
the volume of a gas varies inversely with pressure if the temperature is kept constant.

Boyle's Law is B

Charles's Law is C

Gay-Lussac's Law is A

Explanation:

The reason these are correct is because:

Boyle's law is a indirect between pressure and volumeCharles's Law is direct between volume and temperatureGay-Lussac's Law is direct pressure and temperature

The correct match are as follows:

Boyles Law is about a gas at constant temperature. Therefore, the correct match would be the volume of a gas varies inversely with pressure if the temperature is kept constant.

Charles Law would be that the volume of a gas varies directly with temperature if the pressure is kept constant. 

Gay-lussac's law would be that the pressure of a gas varies directly with temperature if the volume is kept constant. 

This means that the pressure would become double of it's initial pressure.

Explanation:

Key statements:

- Constant temperature

- What happens to the pressure of the gas if the volume was

smooshed down to half its original size?

Basically the question is asking about the relationship between pressure and volume at constant temperature. This is given by Boyle's law.

Boyle's law states that the volume of a fixed mass of gas is inversely proportional to it's volume at a fixed temperature.

This is given by;

P1V1 = P2V2

Where;

P1 = Initial pressure

P2 = Final pressure

V1 = Initial Volume

V2 = Final Volume

From the question;

V2 = V1/2

Inserting it into the equation;

P1 V1 = P2 V1/2

Divide all through by  V1

P1  = P2 /2

P2 = 2 P1

This means that the pressure would become double of it's initial pressure.
