Charles' Law

The second law we learned in our gas laws unit was Charles' Law. In his law, he tells us that temperature and volume vary directly with each other. If the temperature increases in a gas, the volume will have to increase in order to keep the pressure constant because of the energized molecules. Here is a chart that exemplifies this:

Here is his formula too. It is easy to plug in the information you get from a problem, but you have to make sure that you convert Celsius to Kelvin if the problem gives you a temperature in Celsius. :

  1. Lily I liked this post because your summary of the law was very descriptive but still short. I thought your picture you added was a great addition, it really emphasized the concept of the law.
