Charles Law

From: Jacques-Alexandre-César Charles

Presented by: Hunter Bigelow
Equation

 V = Volume
 V1 = Volume 1
 V2 = Volume 2
 T = Temperature
 T1 = Temperature 1
 T2 = Temperature 2
What does
this mean…
Basically, Charles law
states that the volume of
a given mass of gas has
direct correlation with the
absolute temperature. In
order for this to happen
the pressure must stay
constant.
How was this Jacques Charles tried Charles then noticed

law to duplicate Joseph

and Tienne
the volume of the gas
was proportional to

discovered?
Montgolvier’s work of its temperature, but
hydrogen balloons. the pressure was
constant.

1787
 2 interesting facts
about Jacques Charles

 One of the first people to build a

hydrogen balloon, of which he
flew to over a mile into the air
 1795 he was elected to the
Academie des Sciences where he
became a professor of sciences
2 More Interesting facts!!!!

Modern Applications:
1. Hot Air Balloons  This is basically what we leaned
about in previous units:
2. Bakery Products
 When heating up substance
3. Opening of a Soda Can
 Substance volume grows and
4. Helium Balloon on Cold Day expands

5. Using spray cans
