a balloon inflated in a room at 297k has a volume of 4.00 l. the balloon is then heated to a temperature of 331 k. what is the new volume if the pressure remains constant

Sagot :

V2 = 4.4579 L

Since pressure is constant, use Charle’s law.
Charles's law, a statement that the volume occupied by a fixed amount of gas is directly proportional to its absolute temperature, if the pressure remains constant.

V(olume) 1 = V(olume) 2
————— —————
T(emperature) 1 T(emperature)2

4.00 L = V2
———- ———
297 K 331 K

Cross multiply
(4.00 L x 331 K) = (297 K x V2)
Simplify
1324 L/K = 297 K x V2
Isolate V2 by dividing out 297 K
1324 L/K = V2
————
297 K
(This cancels out the kelvin and leaves you with Liters as the volume measure)

V2 = 4.4579 L

Round to significant digits if required
