Question

In 1787 the French scientist Jacques Charles observed that when he plotted the graph of volume of a fixed amount of air versus the temperature of the air, the points lay along a straight line. He found that at 24 degrees C, a certain amount of air occupied 495 cm^3. When he warmed the air to 87 degrees C, its volume increased to 600 cm^3. Write an equation expressing volume in terms of temperature.

Answer 1

this is Charles's Law

\[\dfrac{V_1}{T_1}=k = \dfrac{V_2}{T_2}\]
