Law and Theory Reporters: Hannah Roque and Macky Sanchez Natural Science Gas Laws Boyle’s Law The volume of gas is inversely proportional to the pressure exerted on it at a constant temperature pV = k p – pressure | V – volume | k – constant p 1 V 1 = p 2 V 2 Charles’ Law The volume of gas is directly proportional to its temperature at a constant pressure. V T V – volume | T – temperature | k – constant V 1 T 1 Gay Lussac’s Law The pressure of gas is directly proportional to the temperature at a constant volume. p T p – pressure | T – temperature | k – constant p 1 p 2 Combined Gas Law Boyle’s Law and Charles’ Law combined into one mathematical formula p 1 V 1 T 1 Law Theory Describes Explains Empirical Cannot be directly observed or measured Can support counterfactual conditionals Can support subjunctiv e conditionals Serve as a basis for an explanation Disprove itself Set C Bridging Natural Science and Social Science The law of supply and demand is only held true in an assumptio n that everything is equal (ceteris paribus) = k = k = V 2 T 2 = T 1 T 2 = p 2 V 2 T 2
