CHARLES’
LAW 1
 ▸ Charles' Law is a gas law that
describes the relationship
between the volume and
temperature of a gas at a
constant pressure.
4
 What is the relationship
between the volume of a
gas and its temperature
according to Charles' Law?
 ▸ According to Charles' Law, the
volume of a gas is directly
proportional to its
temperature, when pressure is
held constant.

 Explain how Charles’ Law is used in
various real-life scenarios below:
1. Hot Air Balloon
2. Human Lungs
3. Pool Floats
4. Ping-pong balls
5. Tyres
6. Helium balloon
7. Baking

 Sample Problem:

▸ A neon gas at 760 mm Hg has a

volume of 12.0 L and a temperature
of 44°C. Find the new volume of the
gas after the temperature has been
increased to 85°C at 760 torr.
18
 LET’S SOLVE!

▸ GIVEN: ▸ WHAT IS
ASKED:
V1 – 12.0 L V2 - ?
T1 – 44 °C
T2 – 85 °C
19
 STEP 1:

20
 STEP 2:

Since the temperatures are given in degrees

Celsius, you MUST first change them into Kelvin.
K = °C + 273
▸ T1 = 44°C + 273 = 317 K
▸ T2 = 85°C + 273 = 358 K

 SOLVE THE FOLLOWING:

1. Kr gas occupies a 2. Kr gas occupies a

volume of 1.75 L at volume of 1.75 L at
25.0 °C. Determine 25.0 °C. Determine
the volume of the gas the volume of the gas
if the temperature is if the temperature is
increased to 50 °C. decreased to 20 °C.

 1. Which of the lines on the
graph shows how the
volume of a gas varies with
its temperature when it is
kept at constant pressure?
a. blue line
b. red line
c. green line
d. purple line
e. black line

27
 2. Which of the
following formulas
correctly relates the
volume and temperature
of a gas that is kept at a
constant pressure? 𝑉
represents the volume of
the gas and 𝑇 represents
the temperature.
28
 3. The temperature of 4
m3 of gas is initially 320 K.
The gas is heated while
being kept at constant
pressure. This causes the
gas to expand. The gas is
heated until it has a
volume of 10 m3. What is
the temperature of the gas
after it is heated?
29
4. A gas is cooled while
being kept at a constant
pressure. If its
temperature in kelvin
changes by a factor of
0.25, by what factor
does the volume of the
gas change?
 5. A gas is heated while being kept
at a constant pressure. If its
temperature in kelvin increases by
a factor of 2, by what factor will the
volume of the gas change?

ASSIGNMENT
 Solve the following:

1. A balloon is filled with 1 liter of gas at a temperature of 20°C and a

pressure of 1 atm. If the balloon is then heated to 50°C, what will be its
new volume assuming the pressure remains constant?

2. A gas in a piston-cylinder assembly undergoes an isobaric process

where its volume increases from 2 liters to 4 liters. If the initial temperature
of the gas was 25°C, what will be its final temperature?

3. A hot gas that initially has a volume of 20 m3 is allowed to cool under

constant pressure. When the gas reaches a temperature of 320 K, it has a
volume of 16 m3. What is the initial temperature of the gas?
