The gas laws describe the relationship between pressure, temperature, volume, and the number of gas particles. Understanding these laws is crucial in various scientific and practical applications.

Boyle's Law states that at constant temperature, the pressure and volume of a gas are inversely proportional. This means that when the volume of a gas decreases, the pressure increases, and vice versa. For example, if we have a syringe filled with gas and we decrease the volume by pushing the plunger, the pressure inside the syringe increases.

Charles's Law describes the relationship between the volume of a gas and its temperature, assuming constant pressure. According to this law, when the temperature of a gas increases, its volume also increases, and when the temperature decreases, the volume decreases. A common example of Charles's Law is a balloon. When we heat the air inside the balloon, the gas particles move faster, resulting in an increase in volume and pressure, causing the balloon to expand.

Gay-Lussac's Law, also known as the pressure law, states that the pressure of a gas is directly proportional to its temperature, assuming constant volume. This means that as the temperature increases, the pressure also increases, and as the temperature decreases, the pressure decreases. For instance, when we heat a confined gas in a sealed container, the increase in temperature leads to an increase in pressure.

These gas laws, collectively known as the ideal gas law, provide a foundation for understanding and predicting the behavior of gases. By applying these laws, scientists and engineers can design and optimize various gas-based systems such as engines, refrigerators, and gas turbines.
