Which law was studied in the year 1787, in which it was said that as the volume of a gas increases its absolute temperature increases, and if its absolute temperature decreases, then its volume will decrease?

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

Formulated by Jacques Charles in 1787, Charles's law states that the volume (V) of a given mass of an ideal gas is directly proportional to its absolute temperature (T) at constant pressure. Mathematically, it is expressed as V \propto T or \frac{V}{T} = constant .
