Charles's Law

Charles's Law can be stated as the volume occupied by any sample of gas at a constant pressure is directly proportional to the absolute temperature.

V / T =constant

V is the volume
T is the absolute temperature (measured in Kelvin)

Charles's Law can be expressed into two other useful equations.

1) V1 / T1 = V2 / T2

2) V2 = V1 (T2 / T1)
