ITS A GAS

Charles Law

Charless LawJacques Charles determined the relationship between temperature and volume of a gas.He measured the volume of air at different temperatures, and observed a pattern of behavior which led to his mathematical law.During his experiments pressure of the system and amount of gas were held constant.

TempHow does Temperature and Volume of gases relate graphically?Volume V/T = kPressure, # of particlesremain constantTemperature (T)The temperature of a gas is generally measured with a thermometer in Celsius. All calculations involving gases should be made after converting the Celsius to Kelvin temperature.Kelvin = C + 273

Charless Mathematical Law:since V/T = k Eg: A gas has a volume of 3.0 L at 127C. What is its volume at 227 C?V1 V2T1 T2=What if we had a change in conditions?determine which variables you have:T1 = 127C + 273 = 400KV1 = 3.0 LT2 = 227C + 273 = 5ooKV2 = ?Eg: A gas has a volume of 3.0 L at 127C. What is its volume at 227 C?2) Plug in the variables:(500K)(3.0L) = V2 (400K)V2 = 3.8L3.0L V2400K 500K =3) Cross multiply and chug
