4Q Sci10 Las2 - Charles' Law
I. LEARNING COMPETENCY
Investigate the relationship between:
1. volume and temperature at constant pressure of a gas
2. explains these relationships using the kinetic molecular theory (S9MT-IIj20)
CHARLES’ LAW
The volume – temperature relationship in gases was
determined by and named after Jacques Charles. In his experiment, he
found out that heating a gas will cause it to expand by a certain fraction.
Thus, increasing the temperature makes the volume of a gas increased and
decreasing the temperature makes the volume decreased.
Charles’ law states that the volume of a given mass of gas varies
directly with the absolute temperature of the gas when pressure is
kept constant
The absolute temperature is the temperature measured with the Kelvin scale. The
Kelvin scale must be used because zero on the scale corresponds to a complete stoppage
of molecular motion.
CHARLES’ LAW can be expressed using the mathematical equation as shown below:
TαV
Pressure is directly proportional to volume
V 1/ T 1 = V 2/ T 2
When pressure is constant, this equation is used to
compare different conditions on the same substance
V/T = k
Volume divided by temperature equals the k constant
(k = proportionality constant)
SAMPLE PROBLEM:
An inflated balloon with a volume of 0.75 L at 30°C was placed inside the freezer
where the temperature is -10°C. Find out what will happen to the volume of the balloon if the
pressure remains constant. Support your answer with computation.

5. Last summer vacation, the Cruz family decided to go to Pagudpod, Ilocos Norte to
have a beach party. On their way to Ilocos, all of them were surprised when the tire
suddenly exploded. What is the probable explanation for the blown out tire during a
long summer drive?
A. High temperature causes a decrease in volume.
B. The amount of the gases inside the tire is increased.
C. The mass of the gases inside the tire increases causing a blown up tire.
D. The volume of gases increases as the temperature increases, causing a blown
up tire
