In this section, we will discuss the major types of chemical reactions, including precipitation reactions. Some of the most important reactions we will describe involve ions in aqueous (water) solution. Therefore, we will first look at these ions and see how we represent by chemical equations the reactions involving ions in aqueous solution.

Chemists began studying the electrical behavior of substances in the early nineteenth century, and they knew that you could make pure water electrically conducting by dissolving certain substances in it. In 1884, the Swedish chemist Arrhenius proposed the ionic theory of solutions to account for this conductivity. 

We can divide the substances that dissolve in water into two broad classes, electrolytes and non-electrolytes.

Charles 1787 was a French physicist continued these kinds of experiments.

Know what is his law.

Charles's law (also known as the law of volumes) is an experimental gas law that describes how gases tend to expand when heated. A modern statement of Charles's law is:

When the pressure on a sample of a dry gas is held constant, the Kelvin temperature and the volume will be directly related.

According to Gay-Lussac’s Law: The pressure exerted by a gas at constant volume is directly proportional to its absolute temperature. 

All details included in this lecture.

Gay-Lussac's law, Amontons' law or the pressurelaw was found by Joseph Louis Gay-Lussac in 1809. It states that, for a given mass and constant volume of an ideal gas, the pressure exerted on the sides of its container is directly proportional to its absolute temperature.

In this lecture we will study that If all three parameters, P, V, and T, are changing so there is no constant, their combined relationship of Combined Gas Law.

When we put Boyle's law, Charles' law, and Gay-Lussac's law together, we come up with the combined gas law, which shows that: Pressure is inversely proportional to volume, or higher volume equals lower pressure. Pressure is directly proportional to temperature, or higher temperature equals higher pressure.

We will study the Avogadro’s Law at Constant temperature and pressure.
