Charles Law

Charles' Law States...

• As Pressure goes up volume goes down

• As Pressure goes up temperature goes up

• As Volume goes up temperature goes up 

• As Pressure goes down volume goes down 

What is the definition of Charles Law?

• At constant pressure, volume is directly proportional to temperature

• At constant pressure, volume is inversely proportional to temperature

According to Charles Law, if Temperature of a gas increases Volume will also....

• Increases

• Decreases

• Stays the same

According to Charles Law, the relationship between Temperature and Volume can best be described as....

• Inverse Relationship

• No Relationship

• Direct Relationship

When Temperature of a gas increases, the Volume will ____________________

• Increase

• Decrease

• Stay the Same

Answer explanation

When the temperature of a gas increases, its particles move faster, causing the gas to expand. According to Charles's Law, the volume of a gas is directly proportional to its temperature, so the volume will increase.
