Question

prove gay lussac law by using Boyles and Charles law​

Answer 1

Answer:

I know that the combined gas law,

PVT=k

should be derivable from Boyle's Law and Charles' Law. Since these are very basic equations, I presumed that it would be a simple matter, so I tried it myself.

Charles' Law is

VT=k1

and Boyle's Law is

PV=k2

The subscripts are arbitrary. In the derivation on Wikipedia, they jump from this to

PV=k2T

I'm sure I'm just overlooking something silly, but I see no way of combining Charles' and Boyle's to achieve an equation in which we don't cancel at least one of P, V, or T.

What am I missing? Thanks.
