Read each question carefully and answer to the best of your ability. Show all your work for calculation problems.
1. Charles' Law states that for a fixed amount of gas at constant pressure, the volume of the gas is directly proportional to its temperature.
2. The formula for Charles' Law is V1/T1 = .
3. Temperature in Charles' Law calculations must always be expressed in .
4. If the temperature of a gas increases, what happens to its volume (assuming constant pressure)?
It decreases
It increases
It remains constant
It first increases then decreases
5. What is the approximate value of absolute zero in degrees Celsius?
0 °C
100 °C
-273.15 °C
273.15 °C
6. A balloon contains 10.0 L of air at 27 °C. If the temperature is increased to 227 °C, what is the new volume of the balloon, assuming constant pressure?
7. Explain why it is important to use the Kelvin temperature scale when working with Charles' Law.
8. Charles' Law applies only to ideal gases.
True
False
9. According to Charles' Law, if the temperature of a gas is halved, its volume will also be halved (at constant pressure).
True
False
