Question

At a winter carnival, a balloon is filled with 5.00 L of helium at a temperature of 1.0°C. What will be the volume of the balloon when it is brought into a warm house at 24°C?

Answer 1

Answer:

The volume of balloon is 5.41 L.

Explanation:

The volume of helium (V1) = 5 L

Temperature (T1) = 1 degree Celsius

Now covert the temperature into kelvin by simply adding the 273 with given temperature. Thus, 1-degree Celsius = 274 kelvin.

The volume of balloon (V2) =?

Temperature (T2) = 24 degree Celsius

Now covert degree Celsius into kelvin. Thus, 24-degree Celsius = 297 kelvin.

Using Charl’s law.

$\frac{V1}{T1} = \frac{V2}{T2}$

$\frac{5}{274} = \frac{V2}{297}$

$V2 = 5.41 \ L$
