Question

According to Charles's Law, if the pressure of a gas stays constant, when the temperature increases, the volume __________.

2 Answer

  • The correct answer is "the volume increases".

    In fact, Charle's law states that when the pressure of a gas stays constant, the ratio between the temperature and the volume of the gas is constant:
    [tex] \frac{T}{V} =k[/tex]
    where T is the gas temperature and V is its volume. We see from the formula that, if the temperature T increases, since the ratio must remain constant, the volume of the gas V increases as well.
  • The volume increases is right for apex
