CHARLES' LAW

    Cards (8)

    • Charles law
      The volume of a fixed mass of a gas is directly proportional to the temperature at constant pressure
    • As temperature decreases
      Volume also decreases
    • As temperature increases
      Volume also increases
    • Ratio of initial volume/initial temperature

      Equals ratio of final volume/final temperature
    • Pressure and amount of gas were held constant in the experiment
    • Relationship between volume and temperature
      Directly proportional at constant pressure and fixed amount of gas
    • Solving Charles law problems
      1. Convert temperature to Kelvin
      2. Use derived equation: final volume = (initial volume * final temperature) / initial temperature
    • Charles law is an ideal gas law that states the relationship between volume and temperature at constant pressure and fixed amount of gas
