Answer:

The new volume if the balloon is cooled at constant pressure is 3.98 L

Step-by-step explanation:

The new volume is calculated using the Charles law formula

that is V1/ T1 = V2/T2 where,

V1 = 4.24 l

T1= 23c into kelvin = 23 +273 =296 K

T2 = 5.00 c into kelvin = 5.00 + 273 = 278 K

V2 = ?

by making V2 subject the subject of the formula by multiplying both side by T2

V2 = V1 xT2/ T1

V2 = (4.24 L x 278 K) / 296 k = 3.98 L
