Charles Law 2nd Lecturee

Charles' Law, discovered by Jacques Charles in 1787, states that the volume of a gas is directly proportional to its absolute temperature when pressure is constant. The Kelvin scale is used for temperature measurement as it reflects absolute zero, where molecular motion ceases. The law is mathematically represented, showing that as temperature increases, volume also increases, confirming the direct relationship.

CHARLES’ LAW

 In 1787, the French inventor Jacques


Charles, discovered that the volume of a
gas varied directly with temperature.
Charles's Law states that the volume of
a given mass of gas varies directly with
the absolute temperature of the gas
when pressure is kept constant. The
temperatures are conventionally
measured in Kelvin, the SI unit of
temperature.
The absolute temperature scale was
devised by the English physicist
Kelvin, so temperatures on this scale
are called Kelvin (K) temperatures.
The Kelvin scale must be used
because zero on the Kelvin scale
corresponds to a complete stoppage
of molecular motion.
The Charles’
Law graph
shows that the
volume and
temperature of
the gas is
directly
proportional it
means if the

Mathematical Feature of Charles Law

The table shows that as


temperature increases,
volume also increases,
following Charles' Law. This
serves as evidence for
Charles' Law, which states
that volume is directly
proportional to temperature
at constant pressure. Since
the ratio stays constant at
0.45, it confirms the law.
If the same gas is brought to different temperatures,
it will give two different volumes. The equation will
become:

where:
T1 = initial temperature of the gas
T2 = final temperature of the gas
V1 = initial volume of the gas
V2 = final volume of the gas
