Question

The air in a balloon with a volume of 25.0 liters is heated from 20° C to 60° C. If the pressure stays the same, what will be the new volume of the balloon​

Answer 1

New volume of the balloon will be 28.4 L.

Step-by-step explanation:

As the amount of gas and pressure of the gas remains constant therefore in accordance with Charles's law:

`(V_(1))/(T_(1))=(V_(2))/(T_(2))`

where
`V_(1)` and
`V_(2)` are volume of gas at
`T_(1)` and
`T_(2)` temperature (in kelvin scale) respectively.

Here
`V_(1)=25.0L`,
`T_(1)=(273+20)K=293K` and
`T_(2)=(273+60)K=333K`

So
`V_(2)=(V_(1)T_(2))/(T_(1))=((25.0L)* (333K))/(293K)` = 28.4 L

So new volume of the balloon will be 28.4 L.
