Which of the following is a physical change?
vodka [1.7K]
Hello,
A physical change describes a change that does physically and does not display “chemical” signs which are signs that indicate a precipitate being formed, change in color, density, or producing gas, etc. “Tearing a piece of paper in half” is a physical change because like I said earlier it doesn’t show any chemical change signs. I hope this helps you out!

A balloon is filled to a volume of 1.6 L at 278 K. The balloon is left outside overnight and the temperature has dropped to 253
german

Explanation:

Charles' law gives the relationship between the volume and the temperature of the gas. Mathematically,

Volume ∝ Temperature

i.e. \dfrac{V_1}{V_2}=\dfrac{T_1}{T_2}

We have, V₁ = 1.6 L, T₁ = 278 K, T₂ = 253, V₂=?

V_2=\dfrac{V_1T_2}{T_1}\\\\V_2=\dfrac{1.6\times 253}{278}\\\\V_2=1.45\ L

So, the new volume is 1.45 L.
