Driving a car over snow covered roads will decrease tire pressure.

Is this Boyle’s Law, Charles Law, Gay-Lussac, or Avogadro’s Law?

Answer:

Gay-Lussac Law

Step-by-step explanation:

We can eliminate two of the options :

  1. Charles Law
  2. Avogadro's Law

Both of these laws do not involve variation in pressure, but only conditions in which they remain constant.

Boyle's Law

  • States that Pressure inversely varies with volume
  • Meaning if pressure decreases, volume will increase
  • Most likely does not apply to this question

Gay-Lussac Law

  • States that pressure directly varies with temperature
  • Here it mentions : "over snow covered roads"
  • Most likely the answer
