Jacques Charles discovered that the volume of a gas is directly proportional to its temperature when pressure is kept constant. This relationship is known as Charles' Law. Some key points: 1) Jacques Charles was a French scientist who made early balloon flights and discovered the relationship between gas volume and temperature. 2) According to Charles' Law, the volume of a gas increases as its temperature increases at constant pressure. 3) The kinetic molecular theory explains Charles' Law by stating that gas particles move faster and collide with the container walls more frequently at higher temperatures, increasing the volume.
