Question

The temperature inside your freezer is 0 degrees Celsius. You place a balloon with an initial temperature of 30 degrees C and a volume of 0.75 liters in the freezer. Once the balloon is fully chilled, what will its volume be?
Remember to pay close attention to the units of temperature before beginning your calculations.

Answer 1

Answer:

V=0.68L

Explanation:

For this question we can use

V1/T1 = V2/T2

where

V1 (initial volume )= 0.75 L

T1 (initial temperature in Kelvin)= 303.15

V2( final volume)= ?

T2 (final temperature in Kelvin)= 273.15

Now we must rearrange the equation to make V2 the subject

V2= (V1/T1) ×T2

V2=(0.75/303.15) ×273.15

V2=0.67577931717

V2= 0.68L
