Gay-Lussac's law states that the pressure of a gas is directly related to its absolute temperature, provided the volume and number of moles of the gas remain the same: (Figure 1) P1/T1=P2/T2 In an ideal gas, particles are considered to interact only when they collide, with no loss in energy or speed occurring during the collision. Studying ideal gases allows for simplifications, such as Gay-Lussac's law. A sample of a gas is in a sealed container. The pressure of the gas is 365 torr, and the temperature is 1 °C. If the temperature changes to 62 °C with no change in volume or amount of gas, what is the new pressure, P2, of the gas inside the container?
