What happens to pressure when you increase the temperature
Of a gas?
PV=nRT
if volume is constant, increasing the right side has to increase the left side. Pressure is directly related to absolute temperature, given volume is constant.
Isn't this Charles' Law?
No, the relationship between pressure and temperature is not described by Charles' Law. Charles' Law states that at constant pressure, the volume of a gas is directly proportional to its temperature. The relationship between pressure and temperature is better explained by the Ideal Gas Law, which you mentioned in your question.
According to the Ideal Gas Law equation, PV = nRT, where:
- P is the pressure of the gas
- V is the volume of the gas
- n is the number of moles of gas
- R is the ideal gas constant
- T is the temperature of the gas in Kelvin
If you increase the temperature (T), while keeping the volume (V), number of moles (n), and gas constant (R) constant, the equation shows that the pressure (P) of the gas will also increase. This is because temperature and pressure are directly proportional when the volume is held constant.
So, to summarize, when the temperature of a gas is increased while keeping the volume constant, the pressure of the gas will also increase, as predicted by the Ideal Gas Law.
