Definition: Charles Law: Relating the volume and temperature of an ideal gas held at a constant pressure

Explanation: As Temperature increases volume increases. As Temperature decreases volume Decreases

Formula:
Charles Law - Interactive Phun Curriculum

Units:
V = Volume
T = Temperature
(if temperature is in celcius you have to convert to kelvin)
Kelvin = 273 + C

Everyday Example:
When warm soda sits in your car to long it will explode because of the built up pressure caused by the heat.

Computer Drawing of a gas confined in a blue jar with a graph to the right.

Sample Problem:
If you took a baloon that was at 7 degrees (with a 1 liter volume) and heated it to 19 degrees what would its new volume be?
