Question

Charles Gas Law problem: the temperature inside my refrigerator is about 4 degrees Celsius. If I place a balloon in my fridge that initially has temperature of 22 degrees Celsius and a volume of 0.5 liters, what will be the volume of the balloon when it is fully cooled by my refrigerator? The formula is V1/T1 = V2/T2.

Answer 1

T1 = 273 + 22 = 295 Kelvin

T2 = 273 + 4 = 277 Kelvin

V1 = 0.5 liters,


now , we just need to input this to the vormula

295/0.5 = 277/V2

590 = 277/V2

V2 = 590/277
= 2.129 Liter

hope this helps
