The correct answer is option 2) i.e. At constant volume, the pressure of a fixed amount of gas varies directly with temperature.

  • In 1809, Joseph Louis Gay- Lussac gave the Gay-Lussac's law or the pressure law also known as Amontons' Law.
  • According to this law, at constant volume, the pressure of a fixed amount of gas varies directly with temperature.
  • Mathematically it can be represented as P/T = Constant, where P = Pressure and T = Temperature. 

​Note:

  • At constant temperature, the pressure of a fixed amount (i.e., number of moles n) of gas varies inversely with its volume. This is known as Boyle’s law.
  • We can write it as PV = k (where k is a constant) or  P = k / V.
  • At constant pressure, the volume of a fixed mass of gas is directly proportional to its absolute temperature. This is known as Charles's law.
  • We can write it as V/T = k (where k is a constant) or V = kT.
