Solution

Charle’s law states that if the pressure is kept constant, the volume increases proportionately. Hence, at constant pressure, the volume of a given mass of a gas is directly proportional to the temperature.

Mathematical expression

Suppose V0 is the volume of a fixed mass of a gas at 0°C and its pressure is p.

Therefore, At constant pressure, the volume of gas (V) at t°C is

Vt=V0 (1+t273)

i.e. V∝T.

Hence,

Charle's law states that at constant pressure, volume of a given mass of a gas is directly proportional to its temperature.
