Charles’ Law
• At constant pressure, the volume of a gas varies directly with its Kelvin temperature
• Equations:
V1 V2 V2
V1
=T2
T1
=T1 T2
or or V1T2 = V2T1

Example:A volume of 20.0m3 of argon gas is kept under constant
pressure. The gas is heated from 22ºC to 283 ºC. What is the new volume of the gas?
Step 1: Write down the information you know
V2 = ?
V1 = 20.0 m3
T1 = 22ºC
T2 = 283 º C

Step2) Convert Temperatures into KelvinoC + 273
T1= 22oC 22 + 273 = 296
T2= 283oC 283 + 273 = 556K

Step 3) Isolate the unknown variable
V1T2 = V2T1 We don’t know V2
Divide both sides by T1
V1T2 = V2T1
T1 T1

Step 4) Plug in the numbers you have and solve
(20.0 m3)(556 K) = V2 (Note: Kelvin
296 K units cancel)
37.6 m3 = V2
