In 1787, a French scientist named Jacques Charles discovered the quantitative relationship between volume and temperature. His experiment showed that all gases expand to the same extent when heated through the same temperature interval. Through Charles experiment, he found out that the volume changes by 1/273 of the original volume for each Celsius degree, at constant pressure and an initial temperature of 0 degrees Celsius. Charles concluded that as the temperature increases, so does the volume and this is because the higher the temperature of the gas, the higher the speed of the gas molecules. This causes them to collide with the walls of the container more frequently and with more force. In order to keep the pressure constant, the volume of the container must increase.




 * Charles's Law:** States that the volume of a fixed mass of a gas at constant pressure varies directly with the Kelvin temperature. In other words, as the temperature increases or decreases, the volume also increases or decreases depending on the remperature.

Charles's Law can be expressed as: To solve for volume-temperature problems use the following equation: V1and T1 stand for the initial conditions While V2 and T2 stand for a adifferent set of conditions
 * V=kT or V/Tk**
 * **//V// stands for volume**
 * **//k// stands for constant**
 * **//T// stands for temperature(in kelvin)**
 * V1/TI=V2/T2**
 * V1=first volume measurement
 * T1=first temperature measurement
 * V2=second volume measurement
 * T2=second temperature measurement



In Charles's Law, it involves **absolute zero** //where the lowest temperature is -273.15 degrees celsius and is given a value of zero in the Kelvin scale.// As a result, it gives the following relationship between the two temperature scales which is: However 273.15 is rounded off to just 273. K=273+C is an equation which enables you to convert degrees in celsius to degrees in Kelvin. AND YOU MUST CONVERT IT INTO KELVIN!**
 * K=273.15+degrees in Celsius

The picture above shows how the cold water is affecting the volume of the balloon.
 * An example of a volume-temperature relationship is a balloon. When a balloon is fully blown up and is put in a freezer, the temperature of the freezer is at a low temperature, affecting thevolume of the balloon, causing it to decrease the volume of th balloon. But then if you take out the balloon from the freezer, the balloon at room temperature, it will increase the the volume as the temperature increases as well.**
