𝑽𝟏 𝑷𝟏 = 𝑽𝟐 𝑷𝟐
GIVEN:
 𝑽𝟏 = 4.0 liter The volume of a gas
 𝑽𝟐 = 2.0 liter = 1/2 is inversely proportional
 𝑷𝟏 = 1.5atm to each other at constant
 𝑷𝟐 = ? temperature and vice versa.
𝑷𝟐 = 𝑽𝟏 𝑷𝟏
𝑽𝟐
𝑷𝟐 = 4.0L x 1.5atm
2.0L The volume decreases
𝑷𝟐 = 3.0atm the pressure increases

the hand of Dalia has a volume of 0.50 L

height of approximately 8km where the
atmospheric pressure is approximately
0.33 atm. Assuming that the
temperature is constant, compute for
the final volume of the balloon.
Sulfur gas confined in a 1.8 L
gas tank has a pressure of
0.75atm. At what volume would
its pressure be increased by 1/3?
Even if the temperature remains
the same.
A helium balloon has a volume
of 4.2ml at 1170 torr. Calculate
the pressure required to
increase its volume by ½.
Provided that the temperature
remains constant.
How much pressure is
needed for 2.0L of gas at
2.20 atmospheric pressure
to be kept in a 7.75L tank?

was collected at 760mmhg,

reads 720mmhg at constant
temperature?

Charles Law
The volume-temperature
relationship in gases (k=V/T)
was first determined by and
named after Jacques
Charles.
Charles law states that
at constant pressure,
the volume of a gas is
directly proportional to
its temperature.
