Gas law constants
Boyles, Charles and Gay Lussac's laws each relate to the formula
`(P_1\ \ V_1)/T_1=(P_2\ \ V_2)/T_2`
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 |
