What is Charles’ Law ?
Charles’ Law states that volume
and temperature, described in
kelvins, are directly proportional
if the number of gas particles and
pressure are constant.
 Jacques Charles
1746 - 1843
Charles Law was named after
Jacques A.C. Charles. He came
up with the observation that the
volume of the gas will change
with change in temperature
provided that the pressure
would not change.

The increase in temperature of the gas leads to an increase in the average velocity of the gas particles, which leads in
turn to more collisions with the walls of the container and a greater force per collision. This greater force acting on
the walls of the container leads to an initial increase in gas pressure. The increased temperature of the gas creates an
internal pressure, acting on the bottom of the piston that is greater than the external pressure. The greater internal
pressure causes the piston to move up, increasing the volume of the chamber.

Temperature – Volume Relationship

Increased temperature → Increased volume
Decreased temperature → Decreased volume
Mathematically speaking, Charles’ Law is expressed as:
V∝T at constant P and n
V=kT or V/T=k

 Hot Air Balloon
When the gas in a hot air
balloon is heated with a small
propane burner, the air particles
move faster and they spread out,
causing the volume to increase
and the balloon to expand.
 Hot Air Balloon
According to Charles’s
law, when the pressure of a gas is
held constant, increasing its
temperature increases its volume.
The opposite is also true:
decreasing the temperature of a
gas decreases its volume.
Therefore, taking a balloon from a
warmer place to a cooler place will
cause the balloon to shrink.
 Baking a Bread
Yeast is responsible for releasing
carbon dioxide bubbles. These carbon
dioxide bubbles expand further with high
temperature. The expansion of the
carbon dioxide bubbles with an increase
in temperature works as a leavening
agent and cause the bakery products to
become fluffy.
