Boyle's Law Answer - the volume of a gas is inversely proportional to its pressure if
the temperature remains constant
(P1V1 = P2V2)
Dalton's Law Answer - The total pressure of a mixture of gases is the sum of the
individual pressures (Ptotal= P1+P2+P3...)
Charles's Law Answer - volume of a gas is proportional to its absolute temperature
when pressure and mass are constant
Henry's Law Answer - amount of gas in a solution directly relates to the pressure the
gas has over the solution
