Question

The initial volume of air in the rubber balloon was 2 liters, and it was at a temperature of 293 K. The balloon was placed in the parked car, where the volume increased to 2.5 liters. What was the temperature inside the parked car in °C?

a. 3°C
b. 93.25°C
c. 75.53°C
d. 366.25°C

Answer 1

B

Step-by-step explanation:

We can solve this using ratios.

2/293=2.5/x

Cross multiply:

2x=732.5

x=366.25 K

Now we got the temperature in kelvins, but we need to convert it to ⁰C.

All we need to do is subtract 273.15 degrees

366.25-273.15=93.1 ⁰C
