An arctic weather balloon is filled with 4.96 L of helium gas inside a prep shed. The temperature inside the shed is 6. °C. The balloon is then taken outside, where the temperature is 2. °C. Calculate the new volume of the balloon.

Sagot :

The new volume of the balloon : V₂ = 4.89 L

Further explanation

Given

V₁ = 4.96 L

T₁ = 6 + 273 = 279 K

T₂ = 2 + 273 = 275 K

Required

The new volume

Solution

Charles's Law  

When the gas pressure is kept constant, the gas volume is proportional to the temperature  

[tex]\tt \dfrac{V_1}{T_1}=\dfrac{V_2}{T_2}[/tex]

Input the value :

V₂=V₁.T₂/T₁

V₂ = 4.96 x 275 / 279

V₂ = 4.89 L
