Gas law constants
Boyles, Charles and Gay Lussac's laws each relate to the formula
P1 V1T1=P2 V2T2
But each one of them has a different constant
Boyle's law = T constant (temperature constant)
Charles' law = P constant (pressure constant)
Gay Lussac's = V constant (volume constant)
Use the following mnemonic to remember this
Boy, That Charles Picks Gay Videos!
(remember gay means happy)
Boy, That Charles Picks Gay Videos!
translates to
| B | T | ||
| Boyle | = | Temperature constant | |
| C | P | ||
| Charles | = | Pressure constant | |
| G | V | ||
| Gay Lussac | = | Volume constant |
