Answer

Charles law states that pressure remaining constant, the volume of a given mass of dry gas increases or decreases by 1273\dfrac{1}{273} of its volume at 0°C for each 1°C increase or decrease in temperature, respectively.

Mathematical expression of Charles' law :

Suppose, a gas occupies V1 cm3 at T1 temperature and V2 cm3 at T2 temperature, then by Charles' law:

    V1 α T1

or V1 = kT1 (k is constant)

or V1T1\dfrac{\text{V}1}{\text{T}1} = k and

    V2 α T2

or V2T2\dfrac{\text{V}2}{\text{T}2} = k

V1T1\dfrac{\text{V}1}{\text{T}1} = V2T2\dfrac{\text{V}2}{\text{T}2} = k (at constant pressure)
