  2. Gas laws - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas_laws

    The laws describing the behaviour of gases under fixed pressure, volume, amount of gas, and absolute temperature conditions are called gas laws.The basic gas laws were discovered by the end of the 18th century when scientists found out that relationships between pressure, volume and temperature of a sample of gas could be obtained which would hold to approximation for all gases.

  3. Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act - Wikipedia

    PURPA was the only existing federal law that requires competition in the utility industry and the only law that encourages renewables, if it is cost competitive with conventional polluting resources, [6] until the 2009 amendments to the Defense Production Act and the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022.

  4. Oil and gas law in the United States - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oil_and_gas_law_in_the...

    Law school classes teaching oil and gas law generally require that students first take a class in property and contract law. In Texas and Wyoming, oil and gas law is tested on the bar exam. Oil and gas law practitioners usually fall into three broad categories. First, oil and gas companies usually have in-house attorneys that advise the company ...

  5. Avogadro's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avogadro's_Law

    The law is a specific case of the ideal gas law. A modern statement is: Avogadro's law states that "equal volumes of all gases, at the same temperature and pressure, have the same number of molecules." [1] For a given mass of an ideal gas, the volume and amount (moles) of the gas are directly proportional if the temperature and pressure are ...

  6. Ideal gas law - Wikipedia

    Isotherms of an ideal gas for different temperatures. The curved lines are rectangular hyperbolae of the form y = a/x. They represent the relationship between pressure (on the vertical axis) and volume (on the horizontal axis) for an ideal gas at different temperatures: lines that are farther away from the origin (that is, lines that are nearer to the top right-hand corner of the diagram ...

    Natural Gas Act of 1938; Long title: An Act to regulate the transportation and sale of natural gas in interstate commerce, and for other purposes. Acronyms (colloquial) NGA: Enacted by: the 75th United States Congress: Effective: June 21, 1938: Citations; Public law: Pub. L. 75–688: Statutes at Large: 52 Stat. 821: Codification; Titles amended

  8. Gay-Lussac's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gay-Lussac's_law

    These three gas laws in combination with Avogadro's law can be generalized by the ideal gas law. Gay-Lussac used the formula acquired from ΔV/V = αΔT to define the rate of expansion α for gases. For air, he found a relative expansion ΔV/V = 37.50% and obtained a value of α = 37.50%/100 °C = 1/266.66 °C which indicated that the value of ...

  9. Dalton's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dalton's_law

    Dalton's law (also called Dalton's law of partial pressures) states that in a mixture of non-reacting gases, the total pressure exerted is equal to the sum of the partial pressures of the individual gases. [1] This empirical law was observed by John Dalton in 1801 and published in 1802. [2] Dalton's law is related to the ideal gas laws.
