Question

The volume of a balloon inside party city is 10.5 L at 311 K. Calculate the volume when the balloon is taken outside in a winter day with a temperature of 256k

Answer 1

To answer this question, we have to use the Charles' Law of gases, that states the following:

`(V1)/(T1)=(V2)/(T2)`

In this case, we know the values of T1, V1 and T2 and we have to find V2:

`V2=(V1T2)/(T1)`

Replace for the given values and find V2:

`\begin{gathered} V2=(10.5L\cdot256K)/(311K) \\ V2=8.64L \end{gathered}`

It means that the volume of the balloon outside is 8.64L.
