Charles's Law states that the volume of a fixed mass of gas is directly proportional to its absolute temperature when the pressure is held constant.
Mathematically, it can be expressed as:
V₁/T₁ = V₂/T₂
Where:
* V₁ is the initial volume
* T₁ is the initial absolute temperature (in Kelvin)
* V₂ is the final volume
* T₂ is the final absolute temperature (in Kelvin)
This means that if you increase the temperature of a gas, its volume will increase proportionally, as long as the pressure remains constant. Conversely, if you decrease the temperature, the volume will decrease proportionally.
