Kinetic Molecular Theory
Jacques Charles (1746-
1823)
• About 1787 he discovered Charles’s law
states that the volume of a given mass
of gas varies directly with the
absolute temperature of the gas
when pressure is kept constant.

CHARLES’ LAW EQUATION
Charles’ Law can also be used to compare changing conditions
for a gas.
Where,
⚬ V₁ is the initial volume of gas NOTE:
⚬ T₁ is the initial temperature of gas The direct relationship will only hold if
the temperatures are expressed in
⚬ V₂ is the final volume exerted by the gas Kelvin. Temperatures in Celsius will not
⚬ T₂ is the final temperature occupied by the gas
work. Recall the relationship that
K = °C + 273.
CHARLES’ LAW EQUATION
ANSWER
CONVERT °C TO K USING:
K = °C + 273
T₁ : 22 + 273 = 295 K | T₂ : 71 + 273 = 344 K
V₂ (2.20L)(344 K) / (295 K) = 2.57 L
V₂ = 2.57 L Therefore, the volume increases as the temperature
increases.
TRY!: SOLVING
PROBLEM
Problem: A gas occupies 1.00L at standard temperature. What is
the volume at 333.0 °C?
GIVEN V1: 1.00L| T₁ : 273 K | T₂ : 333.0 °C
REQUIRED V2 / volume/ final volume
EQUATION V₂ = V₁ T₂ /
SOLUTION
T₁
ANSWER
CONVERT °C TO K USING: K = °C + 273
T₂ : 333 + 273 = 606 K
V₂ (1.00L)(606 K) / (273 K) = 2.19 or 2.2 L
