Question

Charles law formula

Answers

Answered by GPT-4o mini
Charles's Law states that the volume of a gas is directly proportional to its temperature (in Kelvin) when pressure is held constant. The formula for Charles's Law can be expressed as:

\[
\frac{V_1}{T_1} = \frac{V_2}{T_2}
\]

Where:
- \( V_1 \) = initial volume of the gas
- \( T_1 \) = initial temperature of the gas (in Kelvin)
- \( V_2 \) = final volume of the gas
- \( T_2 \) = final temperature of the gas (in Kelvin)

Make sure to convert the temperatures to Kelvin by using the formula:

\[
T(K) = T(°C) + 273.15
\]

This law is valid only when the gas behaves ideally and external pressure remains constant.
