PERFORMANCE TASK #2: CHARLES’ LAW IN ACTION
PRE-ACTIVITY
Directions: Observe the relationship between volume and temperature of a gas at constant pressure and
amount of gas. Answer the questions below in COMPLETE sentences.
Volume (L) Temperature (°C)

5.0 - 29
5.3 - 20
5.7 0
6.0 32
6.5 51
6.9 63
7.4 75
Questions:
1. What happens to the volume of the gas when the temperature increases?
2. If the temperature will be decreased, what will happen to the volume of the gas?
3. What were held constant in the experiment?
4. How will you describe the relationship between the volume and temperature of a gas?
LESSON
Jacques Charles
• a French chemist famous for his experiments in ballooning
• instead of hot air, he used hydrogen gas to fill balloons that could stay afloat longer and travel
farther
• on August 27, 1783, he launched the first hydrogen-filled balloon using gas produced by the
reaction of sulfuric acid on iron filings
Charles’ Law states that “for a given amount of gas at constant pressure, the volume is directly proportional
to temperature (in Kelvin), V ∝ T.”
At constant pressure:
• When volume increases, temperature also increases.
• When volume decreases, temperature also decreases.

Gases expand when heated. Gas molecules gain energy and move more aggressively pushing the inner
wall of the surface, hence causing expansion. The hotter the gas gets, the bigger the volume will be.

Formula: =

where:
𝑉1= initial volume 𝑇1 = initial temperature
𝑉2 = final volume 𝑇2 = final temperature
Temperatures should be expressed in Kelvin before substituting the values in the equation.
If the values are already given in Kelvin, then use it directly.
Why is there a need to convert ℃ to K?

- Kelvin is the basic unit for measuring temperature in the International System of Units (SI).
Note: To convert °C to K, use this formula: K = °C + 273.15 K
Let’s apply Charles’ Law in solving problems related to volume-temperature relationship in gases.
Sample Problem:
An inflated balloon with a volume of 0.75 L at 30 °C was placed inside the freezer where the temperature is
-10 °C. Find out what will happen to the volume of the balloon if the pressure remains constant.
Given: 𝑉1= 0.75 L 𝑇1 = 30 °C = 303.15 K

𝑉2 = ? 𝑇2 = -10 °C = 263.15 K
Solution:
Step 1. Convert the temperatures from Celsius to Kelvin.
𝑇1 = 30 °C + 273.15 K = 303.15 K
𝑇2 = -10 °C + 273.15 K = 263.15 K
Step 2.

[cross multiply]
𝑽𝟐 (𝟑𝟎𝟑. 𝟏𝟓 𝑲) = 𝟎. 𝟕𝟓 𝑳 (𝟐𝟔𝟑. 𝟏𝟓 𝑲) [divide both sides by the value next to the missing value]
𝑽𝟐 (𝟑𝟎𝟑.𝟏𝟓 𝑲) 𝟎.𝟕𝟓 𝑳 (𝟐𝟔𝟑.𝟏𝟓 𝑲)
𝟑𝟎𝟑.𝟏𝟓 𝑲
= 𝟑𝟎𝟑.𝟏𝟓 𝑲
[perform the operations]
V2 = 0.65 L
Step 3. Write the conclusion. Therefore, the final volume of the balloon is 0.65 L.

ACTIVITY 2: TEST YOURSELF!

Directions: Consider each word problem below. Following the concept of Charles’ Law, show your
COMPLETE solution.
1. What happens to the new volume of a gas when a 450 mL sample is cooled from 60 °C to 20 °C?
Assume the gas is kept at constant pressure.
2. A 6.50 L of a gas is collected at 120 K and then allowed to expand to 23.0 L. What is the new
temperature (in Kelvin)?
