Which law describes the relationship between the volume and temperature of a gas?

The correct answer is c) Charles’s Law.

Charles’s Law states that the volume of a gas is directly proportional to its absolute temperature (measured in Kelvin) when the pressure is held constant. This means that as the temperature of a gas increases, its volume also increases, provided the pressure does not change. This relationship can be expressed mathematically as:

V1/T1 = V2/T2

where V is the volume and T is the temperature. If you heat a balloon, it expands because the gas molecules inside are moving faster and pushing outward, which illustrates Charles’s Law. It is important to note that it only applies to ideal gases and under conditions where the gas behaves ideally.
