Which law is described by saying that doubling the absolute temperature will double the pressure of a sample of gas in a rigid container?

Boyle's law

Charles's law

Dalton's law

Gay-Lussac's law

The answer is Gay-Lussac’s law. Let's express all of these laws in term of constant k, pressure P, temperature T, and volume V: Boyle's law: PV = k, Charles law: V = kT, Dalton’s law: P = P₁ + P₂ + P₃ + ..., Gay-Lussac’s law: PV = kT. If doubling the absolute temperature doubles the pressure of a sample of gas, than temperature T and pressure P must be on different sides of the equation. This is the case only in Gay-Lussac’s law: PV = kT.

The answer is D. In Gay-Lussac's Gas Law, the volume is constant. P1T2 = P2T1
