Gas Laws - Charles's Law

Charles's Law

Charles's Law, or the law of volumes, was found in 1678. It says that, for an ideal gas at constant pressure, the volume is directly proportional to the absolute temperature (in kelvin). Although this law remains constant, the formula for fusion strongly suggests that it is in fact, not an accurate measure at all.

The absolute temperature of the gas (in kelvin) and k2 (in m3·K−1) is the constant produced.
