Charles’ Law The Temperature-Volume Relationship

Charles’ Law French chemist J JJ Jacques Charles discovered that the volume of a gas at constant pressure changes with temperature. As the temperature of the gas increases, so does its volume, and as its temperature decreases, so does its volume.

C h a r l e s ’ L a w V= Volume k= Charles’ Law constant of Proportionality T= Temperature in Kelvin

Explanation Raising the temperature of a gas causes the gas to fill a greater volume as long as pressure remains constant. Gases expand at a constant rate as temperature increases, and the rate of expansion is similar for all gases.

Example If the temperature of a given amount of gas is doubled, for example, its volume will also double (as long as pressure remains unchanged). 2V = 2kT

Charles’ Law Charles’ Law can be modified to a convenient form by solving for k.

Charles’ Law In a sample with volume V 1 & temperature T 1, changing either volume or temperature converts these variables to V 2 & T 2.

Demonstration of Charles’ Law

Charles’s law states that when a gas is kept at constant pressure, the volume of the gas will change with temperature. In this experiment, balloons keep a small amount of gas (air) at an approximately constant pressure.

As the balloons are dipped into a beaker of liquid nitrogen (- 196°C; -320°F), the air inside them quickly cools. The volume of the air inside the balloons decreases as the temperature of the balloons decreases.

Practical Applications

Hot AIR Balloon The hot air that gives the hot-air balloon its name is commonly created by a propane gas burner that sends powerful jets of flame into the colorful rip-stop nylon envelope. Once the balloon is aloft, its height is maintained by opening and closing the blast valve, which controls the flow of the gas to the burner.
