Solution
The correct option is B Gay Lusac's Law Gay-Lussac's law: The pressure of a gas of fixed mass and fixed volume is directly proportional to the gas's absolute temperature.
Dalton's law: It states that in a mixture of non-reacting gases, the total pressure exerted is equal to the sum of the partial pressures of the individual gases.
Boyle's law: The absolute pressure exerted by a given mass of an ideal gas is inversely proportional to the volume it occupies if the temperature and amount of gas remain unchanged within a closed system.
Charles' law: When the pressure on a sample of a dry gas is held constant, the Kelvin temperature and the volume will be directly related.
