2. Which of the following is true according to Charles's Law? A) Volume increases as temperature decreases - B) Volume is constant as temperature increases - C) Volume increases as temperature increases - D) Volume decreases as temperature decreases

## Step 1<br />Charles's Law, named after Jacques Charles, states that the volume of a given amount of gas is directly proportional to its absolute temperature, provided the pressure remains constant. This means that if the temperature of the gas increases, the volume of the gas also increases, and vice versa.<br /><br />## Step 2<br />Let's evaluate each option in light of Charles's Law:<br /><br />### A) Volume increases as temperature decreases<br />This statement is incorrect according to Charles's Law. The law states that the volume of a gas increases with an increase in temperature, not a decrease.<br /><br />### B) Volume is constant as temperature increases<br />This statement is also incorrect. Charles's Law states that the volume of a gas increases with an increase in temperature, not remains constant.<br /><br />### C) Volume increases as temperature increases<br />This statement is correct according to Charles's Law. The law states that the volume of a gas increases with an increase in temperature, provided the pressure remains constant.<br /><br />### D) Volume decreases as temperature decreases<br />This statement is incorrect according to Charles's Law. The law states that the volume of a gas increases with an increase in temperature, not decreases.
