Applications of Charles’ law

Submitted by: Ma. Luisa D. Fangon from 10 – De Jesus

1. Hot Air Balloon

Charles’ Law means that when gas gets hotter, it takes up more space. In a hot air balloon,
the burner heats the air inside, making it expand and become lighter. Since warm air rises,
this makes the balloon lift off the ground.

2. Opening a soda can

When you open a soda can, the pressure inside suddenly drops, letting the gas escape and
expand. Since gases take up more space when they’re warm, the carbon dioxide in the soda
quickly spreads out, causing the fizz. This shows Charles’ Law because the gas expands when the
pressure drops, just like how heated air expands in a balloon.

3. Bursting of a deodorant bottle


When the temperature of a gas goes up, its volume also increases, as long as the pressure
stays the same. So, if a deodorant bottle gets exposed to high heat, the gas inside expands a lot,
raising the pressure inside the bottle. If the pressure gets too high, the bottle can burst.

4. Bakery products
In bakery products, Charles' Law helps explain how dough rises, like in bread or cakes. As the
dough heats up in the oven, the yeast produces carbon dioxide gas, which expands as the
temperature increases. This causes the gas to take up more space, making the dough puff up
and rise. The expanding gas creates the fluffy texture in baked goods.

5. Helium Balloon on a cold day

If you take a helium balloon outside on a cold day, it shrinks because of Charles' Law. This law
says that when the temperature drops, the volume of a gas also decreases. So, as the helium in
the balloon cools down, it takes up less space, making the balloon shrink. When you bring it
back to a warmer place, the helium expands again, and the balloon returns to its original size.

5. Pop-up turkey timer


A pop-up turkey timer works because of Charles' Law, which says that when a gas gets hotter, it
expands. When the timer is put in the turkey, the gas inside heats up as the turkey cooks and
gets bigger. Eventually, the gas expands enough to make the timer pop up, letting you know the
turkey is cooked to a safe temperature.
