Concept:

Gases that obey the gas laws (Charles law, Boyles law and Universal Gas Law) are called ideal gases.

Boyle’s, Charles’, and Gay Lussac's Laws describe the basic behaviour of fluids with respect to volume, pressure, and temperature.

Gay Lussac’s Law

It states that at constant volume, the pressure of a fixed amount of a gas varies directly with temperature.

P ∝ T

Boyle's Law

For a fixed mass of gas at constant temperature, the volume is inversely proportional to the pressure.

PV = constant (If the temperature remains constant, the product of pressure and volume of a given mass of a gas is constant.)

Charle's Law

For a fixed mass of gas at constant pressure, the volume is directly proportional to the Kelvin temperature.

Calculation:

Given:

V2 = 1.5 V1 , T1 = 30° C = 303 K and P = Const.

from Charle's Law 

⇒ 

⇒ 

⇒ T2 = 1.5 × 303 = 454.5 K

⇒ T2 = 181.5° C
