Charles's law: The temperature-Volume relationship.


Charles's law
Blogger no 3:

Charles's Law, or the law of volumes, was found in 1678. It says that, for an ideal gas at constant pressure, the volume is directly proportional to the absolute temperature (in kelvins).



Where T is the absolute temperature of the gas (in kelvins) and k2 (in m3·K−1) is the constant produced.
 




















Charles' Law describes the direct relationship of temperature and volume of a gas. Assuming that pressure does not change, a doubling in absolute temperature of a gas causes a doubling of the volume of that gas. A drop of absolute temperature sees a proportional drop in volume. The volume of a gas increases by 1/273 of its volume at 0°C for every degree Celsius that the temperature rises.

We The Bloggers hope that now it would be much easier to understand Charles Law. Happy reading. :)
