Abstract
Boyle's law: The volume of a given mass of gas, at constant temperature, is inversely proportional to its pressure.
Dalton's law: The pressure of a mixture of gases is equal to the sum of the partial pressures of its constituents.
Charles's law (Gay-Lussac's law): The volume of a given mass of gas, at constant pressure, increases by 1/273 of its value at 0°C, for every degree Centigrade rise in temperature.
Henry's law: The amount of gas dissolved in a solution is directly proportional to the pressure of that gas over the solution.
Law of gas diffusion: Gas molecules will diffuse from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration until equilibrium is reached.
Graham's law: The rate of diffusion of a gas is inversely proportional to the square of its density.
Convection and forced convection: The transfer of heat in a gas or liquid is proportional to temperature difference and can be increased by increasing airflow.
