The relationship between temperature and volume

How Volume Varies With Temperature

If we place a balloon in liquid nitrogen it

shrinks:

So, gases shrink if cooled.

How Volume Varies With Temperature
Conversely,
if we heat a gas it expands
(as in a hot air balloon).
 Check Your Understanding:
If the sun shining through windows
heats the air in a sealed room, what
happens to the air pressure in that room?
• A It decreases.
• B It will vary.
• C It increases.
• D It remains constant.

 Check Your Understanding:
At constant pressure, how are the
temperature and volume of a gas related?
• A They are inversely proportional.
• B They are directly proportional.
• C They are constant.
• D They are indirectly proportional.
Charles’s Law
 When the temperature of a gas
at a constant pressure
is increased,
its volume increases
• At constant pressure, when the
temperature of a gas is increased, what
happens to its volume

 When the temperature of a gas
at a constant pressure
is decreased,
its volume decreases
• At constant pressure, when the
temperature of a gas is decreased, what

The relationship between

pressure and volume

 When the pressure of a gas
at a constant temperature
is increased,
the volume of the gas decreases
If the temperature of a gas is constant, when the
pressure is increased, the volume decreases
