The physical principle known as Charles’ law states that the volume of a gas equals a constant value multiplied by its temperature as measured on the Kelvin scale (zero Kelvin corresponds to -273.15 degrees Celsius).
Q. Why is Boyle important?
Every general-chemistry student learns of Robert Boyle (1627–1691) as the person who discovered that the volume of a gas decreases with increasing pressure and vice versa—the famous Boyle’s law. A leading scientist and intellectual of his day, he was a great proponent of the experimental method.

Q. What is Charles Law graph?
The graph of Charles’s law is a volume-temperature graph. And it is as follows: The plot in the volume vs temperature (in K) graph is a straight line passing through the origin. The above graph is a volume vs temperature graph plotted as a constant pressure for a fixed amount of gas.
Q. What are the variables in Charles Law?
Explanation: Since pressure is kept constant, the only variable that is manipulated is temperature. This means that we can use Charles’s law in order to compare volume and temperature. Since volume and temperature are on opposite sides of the ideal gas law, they are directly proportional to one another.
Q. What are the two variables in Charles Law?
So two variables that are changing is volume and, volume and temperature.
Q. What two factors affect pressure?
Summary. An increase in the number of gas molecules in the same volume container increases pressure. A decrease in container volume increases gas pressure. An increase in temperature of a gas in a rigid container increases the pressure.
Q. What are the three things you can change that will affect the pressure?
Temperature, pressure, volume and the amount of a gas influence its pressure.
Q. What are the three factors that affect pressure?
The three factors affecting the gas pressure are temperature of the gas, volume of the gas and the number of particles in the gas. Increasing any of these factors will result in an increase in the gas pressure.
Q. Why does temperature decrease when pressure decreases?
For example, when the pressure increases then the temperature also increases. When the pressure decreases, then the temperature decreases. Because there is less mass in the can with a constant volume, the pressure will decrease. This pressure decrease in the can results in a temperature decrease.
Q. Does pressure increase volume?
Boyle found that when the pressure of gas at a constant temperature is increased, the volume of the gas decreases. when the pressure of gas is decreased, the volume increases. this relationship between pressure and volume is called Boyle’s law. But you won’t get any change in volume.
