Question

Charles's law is a gas law relates volume to temperature. The law is named after (1) _____________________, who was a French inventor and scientist. He found through his experiment the volume of a gas increases linearly with an increase in the (2) _____________________. Shrinking of an inflated balloon and a bicycle tire in a very low temperature show the decrease of (3) ______________ which explains that the relationship of volume and temperature is directly related at constant (4) ______________. For a given sample of gas under two different conditions at a constant pressure, the equation can be written as (5) ________________________.

Answer 1

1. Jacques Charles

2. Temperature

3. Volume

4. Pressure

5.
`(V_(1))/(T_(1)) = (V_(2))/(T_(2))`

Step-by-step explanation:

Jacques Alexandre-César Charles was a French mathematician, scientist, inventor, balloonist, aeronaut, and physicist who was born on the 12th of November, 1746 in Beaugency, France and died on the 7th of April, 1823 in Paris, France. He was famously known for his invention of the first hydrogen balloon in 1783 and the discovery of Charles Law.

Charles states that when the pressure of an ideal gas is kept constant, the volume of the gas is directly proportional to the absolute temperature of the gas.

Mathematically, Charles' law is given by the formula;

`VT = K`

`(V_(1))/(T_(1)) = (V_(2))/(T_(2))`

Where;

• V1 and V2 represents the initial and final volumes respectively.
• T1 and T2 represents the initial and final temperatures respectively.
