Question 7 • Physical Science

Which statement is a description of Charles’s law?

Answer
A
The temperature and volume of a gas are inversely proportional when pressure is constant.
B
The temperature and volume of a gas are directly proportional when pressure is constant.
C
The volume and pressure of a gas are directly proportional when temperature is constant.
D
The volume and pressure of a gas are inversely proportional when temperature is constant.

Explanation

Charles’s law states that, when pressure is constant, a gas’s volume is directly proportional to its absolute temperature. As the temperature increases, the volume increases in the same proportion. Therefore, the correct statement is that temperature and volume are directly proportional when pressure is constant.
