Charles' Law

The volume of the gas will increased as the temperature does. This is what Charles's law stated from Jacques Charles who studied this and came up with this conclusion. The easiest example of Charles's law is an hot air balloon. AS the gases inside the balloon are heated up they expand because they are trapped inside and have no where to go. The keep expanding until they can't go any further or explode. The hot air balloon is probably the easiest example of Charles's law.

As temperature rises and the gases are trapped according to Charles's law they will expand inside the cylinder or wherever they are trapped. This is the theory Charles's law. Another good example of Charles's law is let's say you have a tank in the trunk of your car and it's hot outside. As the temperature in the trunk rises the gases get more compact inside the tank and eventually the tank will have to blow. This is what Charles law is all about. The hotter it gets the quicker these gases acre compact and the more likely hood of the gases going up.

This is why you see many times things will blow out very often and you don't know why. Another great example is a car with it's windows rolled up on a very hot day. Inside that car the gases are being compressed tighter and tighter and want to be forced out at the temperatures rise to an amount that is just to much and a window blows to release it. AS you can see the pressure of gases can become so great that they just blow up whatever is holding them. It could be a car window or a cylinder. The explosion is usually fierce so that's why many people tell you never to leave things in hot cars or the windows up on a very hot day.

As people learn more about gases and Charles's law they will find out that these things can be prevented by just following the law that he wrote many years ago . If you do that you shouldn't have any problem understand it or succeeding with it in your everyday life.
