Temperature Scale and Basic Gas Laws

The Gaseous State chapter begins with temperature conversion and three empirical laws.

Topic	Formula
Temperature scale	$\frac{C-0}{100-0}=\frac{K-273}{373-273}=\frac{F-32}{212-32}=\frac{R-R(O)}{R(100)-R(O)}$
Boyle's law	$V\propto\frac{1}{P}$ at constant temperature; $P_1V_1=P_2V_2$
Charles' law	$V\propto T$ at constant pressure; $\frac{V_1}{T_1}=\frac{V_2}{T_2}$
Gay-Lussac's law	$P\propto T$ at constant volume; $\frac{P_1}{T_1}=\frac{P_2}{T_2}$
