Charles' Law states that for a fixed mass of gas at constant pressure, the volume of a gas is:
-
A.
inversely proportional to the temperature in celsius
-
B.
directly proportional to the temperature in celsius
-
C.
inversely proportional to the temperature in kelvin
-
D.
directly proportional to the temperature in kelvin
Correct Answer:
D. directly proportional to the temperature in kelvin
Explanation:
Charles' Law describes the relationship between the volume and temperature of a gas. According to this law, when the pressure and the amount of gas remain constant, the volume of the gas is directly proportional to its absolute temperature, measured in Kelvin. This means that as the Kelvin temperature increases, the volume expands proportionally, and as the temperature decreases, the volume contracts. Therefore, the correct option is that the volume is directly proportional to the temperature in Kelvin.
