Does the increase of mass affect Charles' law?

Best Answers

Charle's law is based on ideal gas equation. So, though increase in mass don't affect it but as mass increases the behavior of a real gas will drift apart from ideal gas. read more

Increase in mass has no effect on charles law. But gas will drift away from ideal behavior with increase in mass and volume will no longer be proportional to temp. So if you are assuming it as an ideal gas than no problem. Another limitation of charles law is its invalidity at low temps. read more

Charles Law is based upon constant pressure. Therefore P, n, R are all constant as no mass is entering or leaving the system (n is constant) and R being the ideal gas constant. Thus as volume increases, T must also increase for the equation to remain valid (both sides equal each other). read more

However, if the container volume is adjustable, the volume will increase, and the pressure will remain the same. Charles’ Law is the formal description of this relationship, allowing change in volume to be calculated if the temperature change is known. The equation describing Charles’ Law is: V 1 /T 1 = V 2 /T 2. assuming no change in pressure. read more
