charles law

• Charles's Law


  The relationship between volume and temperature of a gas at constant pressure
• Charles's Law


  • Kelvin temperature and the volume of a gas are directly related when there is no change in pressure or amount of gas
  • To convert temperature from degrees Celsius to Kelvin, you add 273
  • A direct relationship is one in which the related properties increase or decrease together
  • For two different conditions, the ratio of volume V to temperature T is constant as long as pressure P and number of moles n do not change
• Charles's Law


  V1/T1 = V2/T2
• Application of Charles's Law

  • Incubator - when air comes into contact with the heating element, it expands and becomes lighter, causing the circulation of warm air throughout the incubator
• The kinetic theory shows that when the temperature is increased, the kinetic energy of the gas will also increase
• To keep the pressure constant, the volume of the container must increase
• After going through this lesson, you are expected to: Explain the concept of Charles's Law, Investigate the relationship between volume and temperature at constant pressure, Recognize the importance of Charles's Law to real life situations
