Question

4. If I have 65 liters of helium in a balloon at 250 C and increase the temperature of the balloon to 850 C, what will the new volume of the balloon be?

Answer 1

Answer: 139.57 L

Step-by-step explanation:

Through Charles' Law, we know that volume and temperature have a proportional relationship meaning that if we increase the temperature, the volume will also increase. We can use the following formula: (V1/T1) = (V2/T2)

The equation of Charle's law requires temperature to be in ubnits of Kelvin.

So to find the new temp in kelvin, we use T + 273 so the two temps are 523 and 1123. Now we can plug in our values into the formula

(65/523) = (x/1123)

x= 139.57 L
