Quick answer

At constant pressure, gas volume is directly proportional to absolute temperature in kelvin.

V₁/T₁ = V₂/T₂

How to use the Charles's Law Calculator

  1. 1Enter the initial volume.
  2. 2Enter both temperatures in kelvin.
  3. 3Convert °C to K by adding 273.15.

Frequently asked questions

Why kelvin?

The law is proportional to absolute temperature; celsius would give nonsense at low values.

What happens at 0 K?

Volume theoretically goes to zero — real gases liquefy long before then.
