Question

A 1500 L weather balloon is at 'a temperature of 290 K on the ground. As it rises the

temperature drops. At 15,000 ft, the temperature is down to 210 K. What is the
volume at this elevation?

Answer 1

1086.2 L

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the volume of the elevation is given below:

Here we assume the volume of the elevation be x

As we know that

V¹ ÷ T¹ = V² ÷ T²

Here

V^1 = 1500

T^1 = 290

V^2 = x

T^2 = 210

Now place these values to the above formula

So,

1500 ÷ 290 = x ÷ 210

x = 1086.2 L
