Question

A balloon inflated in a room at 24°C has a volume of 4.00 L. The balloon is then heated to a temperature of

58°C. What is the new volume if the pressure remains constant?

Answer 1

Answer: 4.46 L

Explanation: By using Charles’s Law, we know that V1/T1=V2/T2. And whenever temperature is involved, you have to convert from Celsius to Kelvin (C° + 273). So, 4.00/ 24 +273 = V2/ 58 + 273. So the answer is, around 4.46 L.
