KMT on Charles’s Law
Kinetic molecular theory states that the kinetic energy of gas molecules
varies directly with the temperature. As the temperature increases, the molecules
move faster. If the volume is fixed, the molecules would be colliding more times with
a unit area of the wall. This would then increase the gas pressure. To maintain the
pressure constant (the same number of collisions per unit area of the wall per unit
time), when temperature is increased, the volume of the gas has to increase. When
the volume increases, the distance traveled by a gas molecule before it hits again a
particular area of the wall is increased. Thus, the increased number of collisions is
distributed over a larger surface area. The number of collisions per unit area per unit
time is maintained or is constant.
Charles’s Law: Volume and Temperature
To study the effect of changing temperature on the volume of a gas, The
pressure or the amount of the gas must remain the same. The kinetic theory shows
that when the temperature is increased, the kinetic energy of the gas will also
increase. To keep
the pressure
constant, the
volume of the
container must
increase.

Charles’ Law
Charles’s Law states that the Kelvin temperature and the volume of a gas are
directly related when there is no
change in pressure or amount
of gas. To convert temperature
from degrees Celsius to Kelvin,
you add 273.
A direct relationship is one in which the related properties increase or
decrease together. For two different conditions, the ratio of volume V to temperature
T is constant as long as pressure P and number of moles n do not change.
Charles’s law may be stated mathematically as

Synthesis
Here are the module’s key ideas:
● Kinetic molecular theory states that the kinetic energy of gas molecules varies directly
with the temperature. As the temperature increases, the molecules move faster. If the
volume is fixed, the molecules would be colliding more times with a unit area of the wall.
● Charles’s Law states that the Kelvin temperature and the volume of a gas are directly
related when there is no change in pressure or amount of gas. To convert temperature
from degrees Celsius to Kelvin, you add 273.
