  • Calculations Based on Charles Law

A French chemist, Jacques Charles (1746-1823) found the relationship between the volume and temperature under constant pressure.

Charles law states that the volume of a given mass of gas is directly proportional to its absolute temperature or temperature in Kelvin, provided pressure remains constant.

It means that the volume of the gas increases as temperature increases and also decreases as temperature decreases i.e. (vice versa).

Charles Law
As a container of a confined gas is heated, its molecules increase in kinetic energy and push the movable piston outward, resulting in an increase in volume.

Mathematically,
