Question

2) A balloon was inflated to a volume of 5.0 liters at a temperature of

7.0°C. It landed in an oven and was heated to 147°C. What is its new
volume?

Answer 1

6.12 L

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Initial volume, V₁ = 5 L

Initial temperature, T₁ = 7.0°C = 343 K

Final temperature, T₂ = 147°C = 420 K

We need to find its new volume. The relation between volume and temperature is given by :

`(V_1)/(T_1)=(V_2)/(T_2)\\\\V_2=(V_1T_2)/(T_1)\\\\V_2=(5* 420)/(343)\\\\V_2=6.12\ L`

So, the new volume is 6.12 L.
