Answer to Question #137861 in General Chemistry for johnna

Question

According to Charles's law, for a fixed quantity of gas at constant pressure, which of the given quantities is constant?

VT

V×T

V+T

Answer 1

Charles law states that volume of ideal gas is proportional to the absolute temperature of it.

i.e. volume of ideal gas = V unit.

and temperature = T K

Then according to the Charles law,

V ∝ T

Or, V = k × T

( k= proportionality constant)

Or, V/T = k

Or, V/T = constant

According to Charles's law, for a fixed quantity of gas at constant pressure V/T is constant.
