Question

A kid walking around with a balloon on a summer day when the temperature outside is 300 k contains the volume of 4 l goes into a walk in freezer with a temperature of 275 k to get an ice cream What will be the new volume to the balloon

Answer 1

3.67 L

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Initial temperature (T1) = 300 K

Initial volume (V1) = 4 L

Final temperature (T2) = 275 K

Final volume (V2) =?

Thus, we can obtain the final volume (i.e the new volume) of the balloon by using the Charles law equation as shown below:

V1 /T1 = V2 /T2

4/300 = V2/275

Cross multiply

300 × V2 = 4 × 275

300 × V2 = 1100

Divide both side by 300

V2 = 1100 / 300

V2 = 3.67 L

Therefore, the new volume of the balloon is 3.67 L
