Explain Charles’ Law
Charles’ Law, also sometimes referred to as the law of volumes, gives a detailed account of how gas expands when the temperature is increased. Conversely, when there is a decrease in temperature it will lead to a decrease in volume. When we compare a substance under two different conditions, from the above statement we can write this in the following manner: V2/V1=T2/T1 OR V1T2=V2T1 This above equation depicts that as absolute temperature increases, the volume of the gas also goes up in proportion. In other words, Charle’s law is a special case of the ideal gas law. The law is applicable to the ideal gases that are held at constant pressure but the temperature and volume keep changing.
