Answer:

when volume and the number of particles are constant

Step-by-step explanation:

Gay Lussac law states that when the volume of an ideal gas is kept constant, the pressure of the gas is directly proportional to the absolute temperature of the gas.

Mathematically, Gay Lussac's law is given by;


PT = K


(P1)/(T1) = (P_(2))/(T_(2))

The ideal gas law is the equation PV = nRT

Where;

P is the pressure.

V is the volume.

n is the number of moles of substance.

R is the ideal gas constant.

T is the temperature.

Generally, raising the temperature of an ideal gas would increase its pressure when volume and the number of particles are constant.

This ultimately implies that, when volume and the number of particles are held constant, there would be a linear relationship between the temperature and pressure of a gas i.e temperature would be directly proportional to the pressure of the gas. Thus, an increase in the temperature of the gas would cause an increase in the pressure of the gas at constant volume and number of particles.
