There are a few ways to state Charles law as a formula: V ∝ T V/T = k V = kT V1/T1 = V2/T2 V2/V1 = T2/T1 V1T2 = V2T1 Here, T is absolute temperature, V is volume, and k is a non-zero constant. Note that absolute temperature means Celsius and Fahrenheittemperature must be converted to Kelvin. The graph of volume versus pressure shows the linear rela...
It’s easy to find examples of Charles’s law in everyday life. 1. Hot air balloons fly based on Charles’s law. Heating the air in the balloon increases the balloon’s volume. This decreases its density, so the balloon rises in the air. To come down, chilling the air (not-heating-it) allows the balloon to deflate. The gas becomes more dense and the ba...
Example #1
A gas occupies 221 cm3at a temperature of 0 °C and pressure of 760 mm Hg. Find its volume at 100 °C. First, don’t worry about the pressure. The number doesn’t enter into the calculation. All that matters is that it’s a constant. Use the equation: V1/T1 = V2/T2 Convert 0 °C and 100 °C to Kelvin: V1 = 221cm3; T1 = 273K (0 + 273); T2= 373K (100 + 273) Plug the values into the equation and solve for V2: V1/T1 = V2/T2 221cm3 / 273K = V2 / 373K V2 = (221 cm3)(373K) / 273K V2 = 302 cm3
Example #2
Find the final temperature of a sample of nitrogen gas at constant pressure if it starts at 27 °C and changes volume from 600 mL to 700 mL. First convert the temperature to Kelvin. T1 = 273 + 27 T1= 300 K Next, plug in the numbers. V1/T1 = V2/T2 600 mL/300 K = 700 mL/T2 (T2)(600 mL/300 K) = 700 mL T2 = (700 mL)/(600 mL/300 K) T2 = (700 mL)/(2mL/K) T2= 350 K
Charles’s law calculations require temperature on an absolute scale, such as the Kelvin scale. So, using the formula requires converting from Celsius or Fahrenheit to Kelvin. There are two reasons for this. First, the negative temperatures on the Celsius and Fahrenheit scales could lead to impossible negative volume calculations. Second, the energy...
Like the other ideal gas laws, Charles’s law doesn’t apply under extreme conditions. It doesn’t make sense at absolute zero. First, matter can’t have zero volume. Second, a gas at constant pressure eventually changes into a liquid or solid as temperature drops.

Annalen der Physik. 99 (10): 315–22. doi:10.1002/andp.18561751008Charles’ law is an experimental gas law that describes how gases expand when heated. It gives a formal relationship between temperature and volume. Charles’ law states that the volume occupied by a gas at constant pressure is proportional to its temperature.
Dec 8, 2019 · This example problem shows how to use Charles' law to solve a gas law problem: A 600 mL sample of nitrogen is heated from 27 °C to 77 °C at constant pressure. What is the final volume? Solution: The first step to solving gas law problems should be converting all temperatures to absolute temperatures.
