Charles Law Calculator
Calculate gas volume and temperature using Charles' Law: V1/T1 = V2/T2 at constant pressure.
Charles Law: V1/T1 = V2/T2
Solve For:
Temperature Unit:
Final Volume (V2)
2.000000 L
Charles Law Formula:
V1/T1 = V2/T2
Calculation:
V2 = V1 * T2/T1 = 1 * 546.30/273.15 = 2.000000 L
Important: Temperature must be in Kelvin for calculations. Negative Kelvin values are not physically possible.
Understanding Charles Law
Charles Law states that the volume of a gas is directly proportional to its absolute temperature when pressure is held constant. This means that as temperature increases, the volume of a gas increases proportionally. The law is named after French scientist Jacques Charles and is one of the fundamental gas laws in chemistry and physics.
Key Points
