What will happen to the pressure of a gas if the volume
is doubled? (Prove this mathematically)
Example #3

Charles's Law
The relationship between the volume and
Kelvin temperature of a gas is direct
Formula
Example 1
A balloon is used in a parade where the outside temperature is
+30˚C. The volume of the balloon is 2.00 L. After the parade the
balloon is taken into an air conditioned room where the
temperature is 17 ˚C. What is the volume of the balloon in the
air conditioned room?
Example 2
What will happen to the volume of a gas if the pressure is
tripled? (Prove this mathematically

Example 3
How hot will a 2.30 L balloon have to get to expand to a volume of
˚
400 L? Assume that the initial temperature of the balloon is 25.0 C.
On hot days you may have noticed that potato chip bags seem to
'inflate' even though they have not been opened. If I have a 250
mL bag at a temperature of 19ºC and I leave it in my car which
has a temperature of 60˚C, what will the new volume of the bag
be?
Some students believe that teachers are full of hot air. If I inhale
˚ C and it heats to a
2.2 liters of gas at a temperature of 18
temperature of 38 ˚ C in my lungs, what is the new volume of the
gas?
