Question

At a winter carnival, a balloon is filled with 5.00 L of helium at a temperature of 1.0°C. What will be the volume of the balloon when it is brought into a warm house at 24°C?

Answer 1

The volume of balloon is 5.41 L.

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of helium (V1) = 5 L

Temperature (T1) = 1 degree Celsius

Now covert the temperature into kelvin by simply adding the 273 with given temperature. Thus, 1-degree Celsius = 274 kelvin.

The volume of balloon (V2) =?

Temperature (T2) = 24 degree Celsius

Now covert degree Celsius into kelvin. Thus, 24-degree Celsius = 297 kelvin.

Using Charl’s law.

`(V1)/(T1) = (V2)/(T2) \\`

`(5)/(274) = (V2)/(297) \\`

`V2 = 5.41 \ L`
