    Charles' Law describes the direct relationship between the volume and temperature of a gas when pressure and amount of gas remain constant. It states that the volume of a gas is directly proportional to its temperature when pressure and amount of gas are held constant. The document provides the mathematical formula for Charles' Law and examples of using it to calculate the volume of a gas at one temperature given its volume at another temperature.

    Charles’ Law Problems


    In the early 1800s, French adventurers became interested in hot balloons. Jacques Charles and Joseph-
    Louis Gay-Lussac, made detailed measurements on how the volume of a gas was affected by the
    temperature of the gas. Given the interest in hot air balloon sat that time, it is easy to understand why these
    men should be interested in the temperature-volume relationship for a gas.

    Charles discovered that the volume and temperature have a direct relationship: when one increases the
    other increases.

    For this to be true


     pressure must remain unchanged (constant)
     amount of gas must remain constant
     temperature must be measured in Kelvin

    This can be expressed mathematically as V1 = k where k is a constant that depends on how


    T1 much gas is present, the pressure, and the
    units used for volume. Temperature must
    be in Kelvin!

    When temperature and amount of gas remain unchanged, Charles’ Law can be given as:

    V1 = V2 this can also be written as V1/T1 = V2/T2, easier to word process.


    T1 T2

    V1 are the original temperature and volume and V2 are the new temperature and volume.
    T1 T2

    For example: the volume of a gas is 1.5 liters and its pressure is 200 Kelvin. If the temperature is
    increased to 400 K, what is its new volume.

    V1 = 1600 ml To solve, write equation and substitute:


    T1 = 800 Kelvin
    V2 = unknown V1/T1 = V2/T2
    T2 = 400 Kelvin
    (1600 ml)/(800 Kelvin) = (V2)/400 Kelvin)

    2 ml/Kelvin = (V2)/400 Kelvin

    (2)(400) = 800 Kelvin = T2

    Note: when the temperature doubled, the volume also doubled.


    TEMPERATURE MUST BE IN KELVIN!!!

    1. The volume of a gas is 10.0 liters and its temperature is 1500 K. If the temperature is decreased to
    750 K, what is its new volume?

    2. The temperature of a gas is 100 K and its volume is 500.0 ml. If the volume increases to 1,000.0 ml,
    what is the new temperature of the gas?

    3. A gas occupies 12.3 liters at a temperature of 40.0 K. What is the volume when the temperature is
    increased to 60.0 K?
    4. 500.0 mL of a gas is collected at 745 K. What will the volume be at standard temperature?

    5. Convert 350.0 mL at 740 K to its new volume at standard temperature

    6. A gas at 400 K and 10.0 L expands to 20.0 L. What is its new temperature in Kelvin?

    7. Convert the answer from # 6 to celsius.

    8. A gas at 127 celsius and 10.0 L expands to 20.0 L. What is the new temperature in Kelvin? (You
    must convert to Kelvin before calculating this problem)

    9. See if answer to # 8 is the same as answer as # 6. They are the same problem!

    10. A gas at 0.000 celsius and 10.0 L expands to 20.0 L. What is the new temperature in celsius. (First,
    ya’ gotta convert initial temperature to Kelvin, then do the calculation. Finally, you have to
    convert your answer, in Kelvin, to celsius!)

    11. A gas at 200 celsius and 10.0 L expands to 20.0 L. What is the new temperature in celsius.

    12. When the temperature on a gas increases three times, by how much will the volume increase or
    decrease?

    13. Draw the shape of a temperature vs. volume graph when temperature and amount of gas are
    unchanged.
