Charles's lawLaw stating that the volume of a given mass of gas at constant pressure is directly proportional to its absolute temperature (temperature in kelvins). It was discovered by French physicist Jacques Charles in 1787, and independently by French chemist Joseph Gay-Lussac in 1802. According to Charles's Law, the volume of a gas increases by 1/273 (0.003663) of its volume at 0°C for each °C rise of temperature. This means that the coefficient of expansion of all gases is the same. The law is only approximately true. How to thank TFD for its existence?
