Question

State Charles' law? What are the variables/factors of Charles' law?

a) 1) V/T = k, 2), Pressure, Volume, Temperature
b) 1) P/T = k, 2), Volume, Temperature, Pressure
c) 1) V/T = k, 2), Volume, Pressure, Time
d) 1) P/T = k, 2), Pressure, Temperature, Volume

Answer 1

Charles's Law states that as temperature increases (and vice versa) at constant pressure and amount of gas, the volume of a given mass of gas also increases. The variables/factors of Charles's Law are volume and temperature.

Step-by-step explanation:

Charles's Law, named after French physicist Jacques Charles, states that the volume of a given mass of gas varies directly with the absolute temperature of the gas when pressure is kept constant. In other words, as temperature increases, volume increases (and vice versa), as long as pressure and amount of gas remain constant.

The variables/factors of Charles's Law are volume (V) and temperature (T), while pressure and time are not directly related to this particular law. Therefore, the correct answer is (b) 1) V/T = k, 2) Volume, Temperature, Pressure.
