CHARLES' LAW

• 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
