Let’s think about this:

If we are keeping the pressure constant, any change in temperature

will have a similar effect on the space between gas molecules.

Let’s Try An Example Thanks for Watching!
A sample of gas occupies a volume of 5.00 L at 300. K. If the Make Sure You Can:
temperature is doubled under constant pressure, what will the new 1. Explain Charles’ Law at both the macro- and atomic-levels.
