Chapter 1.3, Problem 18SSC

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Charles’s Law needs to be explained.

Concept introduction:

Charles’s Law is also known as temperature-volume law.

Where,

is the initial volume, and

is the initial temperature, and

is the final volume, and

is the final temperature

Explanation of Solution

According to the Charles’s Law, for a mixed mass of gas, the volume of gas decreases when temperature decreases and it increases when temperature is increased.

Charles’s Law is given by French physicist Jacques Charles. He studied how the volume of gas affects temperature on at constant pressure.

Charles’s Law declares that the volume of gas and temperature of the gas are directly proportional to each other at constant pressure.
