Which example best demonstrates Charles’s law?
2 answers:
<u>Answer:</u>
<em>D. A syringe pulls in air as the plunger is pulled back.</em>
<u>Explanation:</u>
As per Charles’s law
At constant pressure for a given amount of a gas,
Volume is directly proportional to its temperature.
Directly proportional means when one increases the other one too will increase. That is when volume increases temperature too will increase. When volume decreases, temperature too will show a decrease.
Option A tells us that the volume of the hot air balloon increase due to the rise(increase) in temperature as the balloon is heated
Thus the expression is
where k is a constant
When there is a change in the volume and temperature the expression will be
where and
are the initial volume and initial temperature and
and
are the final volume and temperature.

This problem is describing the state two gases have when separated and together as shown on the attached picture. First of all, diagram 1 shows how they are separated in two containers with apparently equal volumes, whereas diagram 2 shows the removal of the barrier so that they get mixed together.
In this case, we can analyze that each gas has its own pressure and due to the removal of the barrier, both pressure and volume undergo a change. Thus, we can infer that the final volume is doubled with respected to the initial one for each gas, causing the pressure of each gas to be halved and the total pressure the half of the added ones, in agreement to the Boyle's law (inversely proportional relationship between pressure and temperature).
Therefore, the correct choice is:
C. The partial pressure of each gas in the mixture is half its initial pressure; the final total pressure is half the sum of the initial pressures of the two gases.
