2. Content/Topic: Gas Law (Charles’ Law)

3. Learning Resources/  Materials to be used for the activity: rubber balloon, tap water, hot water, ice, thermometer,
Materials/ Equipment alcohol lamp, tape measure
Needed  Science 10 Learners’ Material (page 369)
4. Procedures
4.1 Preparations Awareness Review on the Boyle’s Law. Ask questions that will facilitate recalling the topic on
Boyle’s Law.
1. What relationship of two factors of a gas showed in Boyle’s Law?
a. volume and temperature c. volume and mass
b. pressure and temperature d. volume and pressure

2. Which of the following is an application of Boyle’s Law?

a. When a basketball is left outside in the it goes flat because the volume of air
inside ball has reduced.
b. When the plunger of the bicycle pump is push down the chamber’s volume will
decrease and the pressure increases, the air then rushes out of the pump and into
the flat tire.
c. When the amount of gas in a container is doubled the space it occupies will also
double.
d. Gases will expand when heated and contract when cold down.

4.2 Presentation Activity Perform Activity 3 from Science 10 Learner’s Materials (See pp. 369 to 371)
(15 minutes) Charles Law Activity

Analysis 1. What happens to the size of the balloon as the temperature decreases?
(10 minutes) 2. How does the change in the temperature relate to the volume of gas in
the ballon?
Abstraction 1. What happens to the size of the balloon as the temperature decreases?
(10 minutes) The balloon becomes smaller.
2. How does the change in the temperature relate to the volume of gas in
the ballon?
Directly proportional

Hot water has higher temperature than tap water and cold water. Hence, it
is expected that the balloon soaked in hot water will be the biggest and the
one soaked in cold water will be the smallest. Charles’ Law states that
volume and temperature are directly related. Which means that, both
temperature and volume increase at the same time. Likewise, they
decrease at the same as long as the pressure and the amount of gas are
held constant.
 Charles’ Law

The volume - temperature relationship in gases (k = V/T)

was determined by and named after Jacques Charles. In
his experiment, Jacques Charles trapped a sample of gas in a cylinder with a
movable piston in water bath at different temperatures. Jacques Charles found out
that different gases decreased their volume by factors 1/273 per °C of cooling.
With this rate of reduction, if gas will be cooled up to -273°C, it will have zero
volume! Interesting, isn’t it? Charles’ Law states that at constant pressure, the
volume of a fixed amount Jacques Charles of gas is directly proportional to the
Kelvin (K) temperature.Remembering these equivalents will also be of great help:
Volume units and their equivalents:
1 mL = 1 cm3 1 L = 1 dm3 1 m3 = 1000 L
Temperature units and their equivalents:
0˚C = 273.15 K 0˚C = 32˚FBoyle’s Law

Charles’ Law V1 / T1 = V2 / T2

4.3 Practice Application Practice Problem

(3 minutes) A cylinder with a movable piston contains 250 cm3 air at 10°C. If the pressure is
kept constant, at what temperature would you expect the volume to be 150cm3 ?
