Question

Using Charles’s law, V1/T1 =V2/T2 and the information below, solve the question. If a balloon takes up 625L at 273K, what will the new volume be when the balloon is heated to 353K.

Answer 1

The new volume is 808L.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you need to set up your proportion, using Charles's law.

V1 V2

=

T1 T2

Then, substitute for the ones you already know.

625 L V2

=

273 K 353 K

Then, you need to cross multiply.

625 x 353 = 273 x V2

Then, solve for V2.

220625 = 273 x V2

220625 ÷ 273 = V2

808 = V2

The final volume is 808L.
