Gay Lussac’s Law of Gaseous Volumes
Gay Lussac enacted this law based on his observations in 1808. This law states that “when gases are produced or combined in a chemical reaction, they do so in a simple volume ratio provided that all the gases are at the same temperature and pressure.”
This law is regarded as an of definite proportions for gases and the difference between these two chemical combination laws is that Gay Lussac’s Law is stated the ratio of volume, whereas the law of definite proportions is stated in terms of mass.
Example of Gay Lussac’s Law of Gaseous Volumes
In the above example 2 volumes of H2 combines 1 volume of O2 to form 2 volumes of H2O.
H2 (g) + O2 (g) → 2H2O (g)
Laws of Chemical Combination
Laws of Chemical Combination are one of the most fundamental building blocks of the subject of chemistry. As in our surrounding different matter reacts with each other and form various kind of different substances. Laws of Chemical Combination are the collection of laws that explains how these substances combine together to form anything at all. When matter reacts with another matter, a chemical reaction happens which changes the form, properties, or characteristics of the matter drastically. This interaction of matter with each other is governed by the Laws of Chemical Combination.
