Charles Law

Chapter 6 discusses Charles' Law, which relates the volume and temperature of gases. It provides calculations for determining the new volume of a gas when the temperature changes, emphasizing the use of Kelvin in calculations. Additionally, it includes learning checks to reinforce understanding of the relationships between pressure, volume, and temperature.

Calculations Using Charles’ Law

A balloon has a volume of 785 mL at 21°C. If the


temperature drops to 0°C, what is the new volume of
the balloon (P constant)?

1. Set up data table:


Conditions 1 Conditions 2
V1 = 785 mL V2 = ?
T1 = 21°C = 294 K T2 = 0°C = 273 K

Be sure to use the Kelvin (K) temperature in


gas calculations.

Calculations Using Charles’ Law
(continued)

2. Solve Charles’ law for V2:

V1 = V2
T1 T2

V2 = V1 x T2
T1
V2 = 785 mL x 273 K = 729 mL
294 K

3
Learning Check

A sample of oxygen gas has a volume of 420 mL


at a temperature of 18°C. At what temperature
(in °C) will the volume of the oxygen be 640 mL
(P and n constant)?

1) 443°C
2) 170°C
3) - 82°C

4
Solution

2) 170°C

T2 = T1 x V2
V1
T2 = 291 K x 640 mL = 443 K
420 mL
= 443 K - 273 K = 170°C
