Question

Complete the following statement: In Charles's law, the volume of a gas ____ when the ____ decreases (A) increases, temperature (B) increases, quantity of gas (C) increases, pressure (D) decreases, temperature (E) decreases, pressure

Answer 1

(D) decreases, temperature

Step-by-step explanation:

Ideal gas laws allow us to make assumptions about how gases will react under certain conditions.

Charles' Law

Charles' law relates a gas' volume with its temperature. The law states that changes in volume and temperature are directly proportional. This means that as one increases, so does the other, and vice versa. Mathematically, this law is represented as:

• 
  `\displaystyle (V_(1) )/(T_(1) )=(V_(2) )/(T_(2) )`

Other Ideal Gas Laws

There are 4 other ideal gas laws: Boyle's, Gay-Lussac's, and Avagadro's. When all of these laws are combined, we are left with the ideal gas equation:

• PV = nRT

Where P is pressure, V is volume, n is moles of gas, R is a constant known as the gas constant, and T is temperature. This equation combines all of the laws and helps explains how gases act when placed in a specific condition. For example, the equation shows that if P increases, then V will decrease to maintain equality.
