Question 18 • Physical Science

Which formula represents Charles’s law?

Answer
A
cap p sub 1 cap v sub 1 is equal to cap p sub 2 cap v sub 2
B
cap v sub 1 cap t sub 1 is equal to cap v sub 2 cap t sub 2
C
the fraction with numerator cap v sub 1 and denominator cap t sub 1 is equal to the fraction with numerator cap v sub 2 and denominator cap t sub 2
D
the fraction with numerator cap p sub 1 and denominator cap t sub 1 is equal to the fraction with numerator cap p sub 2 and denominator cap t sub 2

Explanation

Charles’s law says that for a fixed amount of gas at constant pressure, volume is directly proportional to absolute temperature. This is written as V₁/T₁ = V₂/T₂, which is the choice stating that the fractions with volume in the numerator and temperature in the denominator are equal. Temperatures must be measured in kelvins.
