  • Charles's Law: Understanding the Relationship Between Gas Volume and Temperature
    The law that describes the relationship between the volume and temperature of a gas when pressure is constant is Charles's Law.

    Charles's Law states:

    * The volume of a gas is directly proportional to its absolute temperature, when the pressure is held constant.

    This means that as the temperature of a gas increases, its volume will also increase proportionally, and vice versa.

    Mathematically, Charles's Law can be expressed as:

    V₁/T₁ = V₂/T₂

    Where:

    * V₁ = Initial volume

    * T₁ = Initial temperature (in Kelvin)

    * V₂ = Final volume

    * T₂ = Final temperature (in Kelvin)

    Important Note: Temperatures must always be expressed in Kelvin (K) when using Charles's Law.
