What Happens to Gas Volume When Temperature Increases According to Charles's Law?

Charles's Law says that if you keep the pressure the same, the volume of a gas will change depending on the temperature.

When the temperature goes up, the volume increases, and when the temperature goes down, the volume decreases. Here’s a simple way to write this:

Volume is linked to Temperature.

  • V represents the volume of the gas.
  • T represents the temperature in Kelvin.

Let’s look at an example:

If the temperature rises from 273 K (which is 0°C) to 546 K (which is 273°C), the volume of the gas would double, as long as the pressure doesn’t change.

In simple terms, warmer gas takes up more space!
