Charles'+Law


 * By: Tabitha, Jamison, Kayla, and Steven

Definition of Charles' Law:**

Charle’s law states that the first volume of a gas divided by its first temperature in Kelvin at constant pressure is equal to the second volume of the gas divided by the second temperature in Kelvin.

Formula: V1/T1 = V2/T2

Inside this formula and Law it can also be deduced that as temperature increases, volume increases as pressure remains at a constant..

In correlation to Boyle's Law, if the pressure is to increase, the volume would decrease and, as a direct result, the temperature would alsodecrease. The opposite would be true in a setting where the pressure decreases.

Sample problems of Charles’ Law

1) The temperature of a 2.56 Liter sample of a gas is found to be 24.5 ° C. If its temperature elevates to 31.75 ° C, what would be its new volume? A) To solve, you would first convert the temperature in Celsius to Kelvin by adding 273.15 24.5+273.25=297.65 31.75+273.15=304.9 B) Using Charles” Law we know the formula to find the mass V1/T1=V2/T2 C)substitute the data into this proportion 2.56 /297.65= X/304.9 D) solve for X X=2.62 L
