Charles’ Law

Charles’ Law states that at constant pressure, the volume of a fixed mass of a gas is directly proportional to its absolute temperature. When the temperature of a gas goes up, its volume goes down, and when the temperature goes down, the volume goes up.

Mathematically, Charles’ law is expressed as V ∝ T, or simply V = kT ,
At the end of this form 3 chemistry tutorial, you will have 3 worked out and well explained examples of numerical problems applying the concept of Charles’ law.
This video lesson covers the following concepts:

• Derivation of V ∝ T, or simply V = kT, and V1/T1 = V2/T2.
• Graphical representation of Charles’ law
• Absolute Zero and Absolute Temperature Scale
• How to Convert Temperatures from Celsius Scale to Absolute Scale and Vice Versa
