Charles' Law. Statement. For a fixed mass of gas at constant pressure, the volume is directly proportional to the kelvin temperature. That means, for example, that if you double the kelvin temperature from, say to 300 K to 600 K, at constant pressure, the volume of a fixed mass of the gas will double as well.
At constant temperature and pressure the volume of a gas is directly proportional to the number of moles of gas. Not so coincidentally if V is constant instead of P then. P = n (RT/V) At constant temperature and volume the pressure of a gas is directly proportional to the number of moles of gas. You could remember all the different gas laws, P 1 V 1 = P 2 V 2 P 1 /T 1 = P 2 /T 2 V 1 /T 1 = V 2 /T 2 and so on... Or you could think about the problem a bit and use PV=nRT.
