Question:

At what Kelvin temperature will a sample of gas occupy 12 liters if the same sample occupies 8 liters at 27 degrees C?

Charles Law:

Suppose the pressure of gas remains unchanged while changing its volume and temperature; we use the following equation to relate the volume and temperature at two different points. And this is called Charles law of gas.

$$\dfrac{{{V_1}}}{{{T_1}}} = \dfrac{{{V_2}}}{{{T_2}}} $$

Where,

  • The initial volume and temperature are {eq}V_1 {/eq} and {eq}T_1 {/eq}, respectively
  • The final volume and temperature are {eq}V_2 {/eq} and {eq}T_2 {/eq}, respectively
