EXERCISE 10 Demonstrating Gas Laws Lab Group II Introduction The three gas laws discover the relationship of pressure‚ temperature‚ volume‚ and amount of gas. Boyle’s Law tells us that the volume of gas increases as the pressure decreases. Charles’ Law tells us that the volume of gas increases as the temperature increases. A third gas law may be derived as a corollary to Boyle’s and Charles’ laws. According to Gay-Lussac’s Law‚ for a given amount of gas held at constant volume‚ the pressure
