Charles's Law can be stated as the volume occupied by any sample of gas at a constant pressure is directly proportional to the absolute temperature.
V / T =constant,
- V is the volume
- T is the absolute temperature (measured in Kelvin)
Charles's Law can be rearranged into two other useful equations.
V1 / T1 = V2 / T2
- V1 is the initial volume
- T1 is the initial temperature
- V2 is the final volume
- T2 is the final temperature
V2 = V1 (T2 / T1)
- V2 is the final volume
- T2 is the final temperature
- V1 is the initial volume
- T1 is the initial temperature
Important:
Charles's Law only works when the pressure is constant.
Note:
Charles's Law is fairly accurate but gases tend to deviate from it at very high and low pressures.
