  2. Charles's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles's_law

    Charles's law (also known as the law of volumes) is an experimental gas law that describes how gases tend to expand when heated. A modern statement of Charles's law is: When the pressure on a sample of a dry gas is held constant, the Kelvin temperature and the volume will be in direct proportion. [1] This relationship of direct proportion can ...

  3. Gas laws - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas_laws

    Charles' law, or the law of volumes, was founded in 1787 by Jacques Charles. It states that, for a given mass of an ideal gas at constant pressure, the volume is directly proportional to its absolute temperature, assuming in a closed system. The statement of Charles' law is as follows: the volume (V) of a given mass of a gas, at constant ...

    Casper's Dictum is a law in forensic medicine that states the ratio of time a body takes to putrefy in different substances – 1:2:8 in air, water and earth. Cassie's law describes the effective contact angle θ c for a liquid on a composite surface. Cassini's laws provide a compact description of the motion of the Moon.

  5. Boyle's law - Wikipedia

    Here P 1 and V 1 represent the original pressure and volume, respectively, and P 2 and V 2 represent the second pressure and volume. Boyle's law, Charles's law, and Gay-Lussac's law form the combined gas law. The three gas laws in combination with Avogadro's law can be generalized by the ideal gas law.

    [1] [2] Most modern ... molar volume, the volume of 1 mole of gas or liquid, ideal gas constant ≈ 8.3144621 J/mol·K ... This is known today as Charles's law.

    2 volumes of hydrogen + 1 volume of oxygen = 2 volume of gaseous water. could also be expressed as 2 molecules of hydrogen + 1 molecule of oxygen = 2 molecule of water. The law of combining volumes of gases was announced publicly by Joseph Louis Gay-Lussac on the last day of 1808, and published in 1809.

    Isotherms of an ideal gas for different temperatures. The curved lines are rectangular hyperbolae of the form y = a/x. They represent the relationship between pressure (on the vertical axis) and volume (on the horizontal axis) for an ideal gas at different temperatures: lines that are farther away from the origin (that is, lines that are nearer to the top right-hand corner of the diagram ...

  9. Gas thermometer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas_thermometer

    This thermometer functions by Charles's Law. Charles's Law states that when the temperature of a gas increases, so does the volume. [2] Using Charles's Law, the temperature can be measured by knowing the volume of gas at a certain temperature by using the formula, written below. Translating it to the correct levels of the device that is holding ...
