matically as follows:

T=k
wherekis a constant that depends on the pressure and amount of the gas sample. As in the case of Boyle’s Law, this
can also be used to generate a way of comparing two different states for a given sample at constant pressure:
V 1
T 1 =
V 2
T 2
Example 14.4
A sample of neon gas occupies a volume of 752 mL at 25°C. What volume will the gas occupy at 50°C if the pressure
remains constant? Before you begin, think about whether or not the volume should go up or down.
Answer:
Don’t forget that all temperatures must be converted to absolute temperature (Kelvin).
