Volume - temperature relationship is given by

Key Points

• The Volume - Temperature relationship is defined by Charles's Law.
• Charles's Law states that at constant pressure, the volume of a given mass of an ideal gas is directly proportional to its absolute temperature.
• This means that as the temperature of the gas increases, its volume increases proportionally, provided the pressure remains unchanged.
• The law can be mathematically expressed as $V \propto T$ or $\frac{V}{T} = k$ , where $V$ is the volume, $T$ is the absolute temperature, and $k$ is a constant.

Additional Information

• Boyle's Law describes the relationship between pressure and volume at constant temperature.
• Dalton's Law pertains to the partial pressures of gases in a mixture.
• Cavendish was known for his work on hydrogen and the composition of water, not for the volume-temperature relationship of gases.
• The ideal gas law combines Charles's Law, Boyle's Law, and Avogadro's Law into a single equation: $PV = nRT$ .
