Henry's Law (Heineken) ✔️Example: Decompression Sickness/ "The Bends"
Boyles' Law ✔️The pressure of a gas is inversely proportional to the volume of a gas at constant
temperature; (P1 V1 = P2 V2)
Dalton's Law ✔️Law of partial pressures; the total pressure of a gas mixture is the sum of the partial
pressures of all the gases in the mixture; ( Pt = P 1 + P 2 + P 3 + . . . + P N)
Charles' Law ✔️At a constant pressure, the volume of gas is directly proportional to the absolute
temperature of the gas; (V 1/T 1 = V 2/T 2)
Gay-Lussac's Law ✔️Directly proportional relationship between temperature and pressure; (P1/T1 =
P2/T2)
Graham's Law ✔️Law of Gaseous Diffusion;
Rate of diffusion of a gas is inversely proportional to the square root of its molecular weight.
