With everything else being held constant the pressure in a gas is proportional to the temperature and inversely proportional to the volume. ie, to take one instance, if everything including the temperature remains constant, when the volume decreases the pressure increases. Now this law is true for everyone, an individual cannot say, "I do not want to follow that law, I want to follow the law where pressure is proportional to volume.
No, Charlie, that's the ideal gas law, and it doesn't apply to gases in the laboratory, except that their density is vanishingly small at temperatures not near where laboratory gases condense into liquid. Ideal gases do not condense. Get an education, Charlie. You're out of your depth on this one.
Your still not getting it. It doesn't matter what we call scientific laws, they exist and have been discovered. Try taking a propane cannister and throw it on a fire. Are you going to hang about to see if the pressure increases with the increase of temperature? I don't think so!
Water is a compound made up of the elements hydrogen and oxygen. This is a scientific fact and it is true no matter if any individual does not agree with this fact. It is true for all.
