  Charles's law - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Charles's law (sometimes called the Law of Charles and Gay-Lussac) is one of the gas laws.
The law was first published by Joseph Louis Gay-Lussac in 1802, but he referenced unpublished work by Jacques Charles from around 1787.
Charles law states that, at constant pressure, the volume of a given mass of a gas increases or decreases by the same factor as its temperature (in Kelvin) increases or decreases.

 Legends in the Law: Charles T. Duncan
I ended up going to law school thinking it would finish off a nice liberal education, but after about six weeks I said, "Hey, this is very, very nice," and decided to make it my profession.
I was very familiar with the law school, having taught there on and off on a part-time basis from 1954 to 1961.
I knew the law school, I knew a lot of the faculty, I obviously had strong feelings about legal education generally and legal education for minority lawyers in particular, so it was sort of natural for me to want to do it.

 Charles' Law
Charles’ Law states that at constant pressure, the volume of a gas is directly proportional to the temperature (Kelvin).
Charles’ Law is often cited in scuba texts to explain why the pressure in the scuba tank goes up when the tank gets hot (or why the pressure drops when the tank cools down).
It’s Amonton’s Law which states that the pressure of a gas is directly proportional to the temperature (Kelvin) at constant volume.

 Charles' Law
If go back to Boyle's Law and read a little more carefully we will see that Boyle's Law states: If the temperature remains constant, the volume of a given mass of gas is inversely proportional to the absolute pressure.
Charles showed that raising the temperature of a gas would tend to increase the volume of the gas, if its pressure remained constant.
This part of the law states that if the volume was kept constant, raising the temperature would increase the pressure of the gas.

 University Chemistry: The Empirical Gas Laws: Temperature and the Law of Charles
The air thermometer is an excellent demonstration of Charles' law because the atmosphere maintains a fixed downward pressure above a small mercury plug of constant mass.
Nevertheless, Amontons failed to achieve formulation of Charles' law for the same reason as did Boyle: a quantitative scale of temperature was needed.
The study of the effect of temperature upon the properties of gases took considerably longer to achieve a simple quantitative relation than did study of the effect of pressure, primarily because the development of a quantitative scale of temperature was a difficult process.

 Charles Law Explanation
In those units the gas constant, R=0.08205 liter-atm/mol-K and the defining ideal gas equation is: P*V = n*R*T. In the special case of Charles' law, the quantity of gas and the pressure of the gas are constant resulting in V1/T1 = V2/T2 or V2 = V1*(T2/T1).
For Charles' law to apply, if you start with a given volume V1 the only way to get to V2 is to heat the gas, thus increasing the temperature by a fixed ratio (T2/T1).
The point of Charle's Law was to show that the ISOBARIC (constant pressure) change of the state variables T and V showed their PROPORTIONAL relationship.

Two of the prominent french scientists, Jacques Charles and Joseph-Louis Gay-Lussac, made detailed measurements on how the volume of a gas was affected by the temperature of the gas.
This tube was immersed in a water bath; by changing the temperature of the water, Charles was able to change the temperature of the gas.
The pressure was held constant by adjusting the height of mercury so that the two columns of mercury had equal height, and thus the pressure was always equal to the atmospheric pressure.

 Lesson 7-3 Boyle's Law
This is because as you decrease the volume of a confined gas, the pressure that it exerts increases.
This relationship, called Boyle's Law, is summarized by the statement:The volume of a sample of gas is inversely proportional to its pressure, if temperature remains constant.
Boyle's law is sometimes used to determine the volume that a gas would have at another pressure.

This formula is the "Ideal Gas Law Formula." The formula is pretty accurate for all gases as we assume that the gas molecules are point masses and the collisions of the molecules are totally elastic.
The Combined Law Formula is the one to use if you have any doubt about which of the Gas Laws to use.
As you can see, Boyle's Law is in the classic form of, "P is inversely proportional to V." We could predict that from the P and V being together in the numerator of the same side of the equation.
