1. Given is a table showing the data of Temperature and Volume of a

gas at a constant Pressure:

Temperature (K) Volume (mL) V/T (mL / K)

50 20 0.4

100 40 0.4

150 60 0.4

200 80 0.4

300 120 0.4

500 200 0.4

1000 400 0.4

2. Plot a graph with the Volume, V at the y–axis and Temperature, T

at the x–axis.

Questions:
Q1. Describe the graph.
- The graph illustrates the relationship between the temperature of the
gas and its volume. It demonstrates that as the temperature of a gas
increases, its volume increases proportionately, and vice versa.
Additionally, as the temperature approaches zero, the volume approaches
zero as well.

Q2. What happens to the Volume, V of a gas as Temperature, T of gas

increases? When Temperature, T decreases?
- As illustrated in the table and graph above, the Volume (V) of a gas
increases as the Temperature (T) of the gas increases. Similarly, when
the Temperature (T) of a gas decreases, the Volume (V) of the gas
decreases.

Q3. Based on the graph, how is the Volume of a gas related to the
Temperature at constant Pressure?
 The Volume of the gas has a directly proportional relationship with the
Temperature at constant Pressure.

Q4. Write this relationship in symbols.

 V ∝ T
Q5. State Charles’ Law.
- According to Charles' Law, assuming the pressure remains constant, the
volume occupied by a fixed amount of gas is precisely proportional to
its absolute temperature.

Q6. Give applications of Charles’ Law.

 Helium Balloon
 Pool Floats
 Bakery
 Basketball
 Tires/Wheels
 Hot Air Balloons
