1. One factor which can be changed in a gas is its temperature.

1A. Given what you’ve learned about kinetic theory, what will happen to the molecules in a gas as temperature increases?

1B. Given your answer in 1A what do you think will happen to the volume of a balloon as the temperature is increased?

2. Charles’ law states that the volume of a gas is directly proportional to its temperature.

2A. In mathematical terms what would Charles’ law look like?

2B. Using your formula in 2A predict what would happen to the volume of a gas if temperature is reduced to 0K.

2C. Does this physically make sense?  Why or why not?

2D. What are two other properties of a gas that we’re keeping constant in order for Charles’ law to be true?

2E. Given your answer in 2B what will happen to the density of a gas as its temperature is increased?

2F. What is a mathematical expression relating density and temperature for a gas?
