Charles's Law Calculator (V₁/T₁=V₂/T₂)
In an isobaric process, gas volume is proportional to absolute temperature: given any three of the initial/final volume/temperature, solve the fourth (pressure constant).
Key points
Charles's Law Calculator (V₁/T₁=V₂/T₂): In an isobaric process, gas volume is proportional to absolute temperature: given any three of the initial/final volume/temperature, solve the fourth (pressure constant). Formula: V₁/T₁ = V₂/T₂ (isobaric process, P constant). Enter parameters on the DD-CAT IDE online tool page to get results instantly, with a calculation-model diagram that updates with the inputs. Charles's law: at constant pressure, the volume of a fixed amount of gas is proportional to absolute temperature (V₁/T₁ = V₂/T₂); temperature must be in kelvin. This defines the ideal-gas temperature scale: V = V₀(1 + t/273.15), with volume V₀ at 0 °C.
