Question

Define Gay Lussac’s law of gaseous volumes. Under what conditions

this law is applicable for gaseous reactants and products?​

Answer 1

Answer:

When gases combine or are produced in a chemical reaction they do so in a simple ratio by volume provided all gases are at equal temperature and pressure.'

Example - Water

For 100 ml of water, 100 ml of hydrogen [H₂] and 50 ml of oxygen combine.

This combination bears a simple ratio of hydrogen and oxygen i.e 100 : 50

= 2 : 1
