CHAPTER 7.2 · SIMULATION 2

Charles’s Law Balloon

How to use: Slide the temperature to heat or cool the balloon. Read the volume. Press Record point to add a row to the table. The pressure stays constant.

THE GAS

Fixed: pressure and amount of gas. V ÷ T stays the same. Use K = °C + 273.

VOLUME
V ÷ T

GRAPH AND DATA

TEMPERATURE (K)VOLUME (L)V ÷ T (L/K)

Sample data: values are idealized (illustrative). Constant pressure, V ÷ T = 0.0100 L/K.
