Discovering Charles' Law

When gas pressure remains constant as the temperature increases, the volume of the gas will also increase.

<p>According to Charles' Law, if the pressure of a gas is held constant, as the gas is heated, its volume will increase. The reverse is also true: cooling a gas will cause its volume to decrease.</p> Signup and view all the answers

<p>Absolute zero is the temperature at which a gas has a volume of zero. It was discovered by Lord Kelvin, who measured the volume of different gases at different temperatures and extrapolated the data to find that the volume would be zero at a temperature of approximately -273 degrees Celsius.</p> Signup and view all the answers

<p>Charles' Law states that the volume of a gas is directly proportional to the temperature of a gas. The equation commonly used is $V_1 / T_1 = V_2 / T_2$.</p> Signup and view all the answers
