Question

The Charles Zeppelin, a fictional airship, is filled with 2.16 x 105 liters of hydrogen gas (H2). On the ground, the airship’s temperature is 295 K. Once the airship has lifted off the ground, the temperature of the gas rises to 425 K. What is the volume of the Charles Zeppelin once it is airborne? ​

Answer 1

Answer:

V2 = 3.11 x 105 liters

Explanation:

Initial Volume, V1 = 2.16 x 105 liters

Initial Temperature, T1 = 295 K

Final Temperature, T2 = 425 K

Final Volume, V2 = ?

These quantities are related by charle's law and the equation of the law is given as;

V1 / T1  =  V2 / T2

V2 = T2 * V1 / T1

V2 = 425 * 2.16 x 105 / 295

V2 = 3.11 x 105 liters
