Answer:

4.4 L

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Initial volume (V₁) = 3.5 L

Initial temperature (T₁) = 296 K

Final temperature (T₂) = 376 K

Final volume (V₂) =?

The final volume of the balloon can be obtained by using the Charles law equation as illustrated below:

V₁ / T₁ = V₂ / T₂

3.5 / 296 = V₂ / 376

Cross multiply

296 × V₂ = 3.5 × 376

296 × V₂ = 1316

Divide both side by 296

V₂ = 1316 / 296

V₂ = 4.4 L

Thus, the final volume of the balloon is 4.4 L
