Question

A balloon full of air has a volume of 1.00L at a temperature of 23 °C. What is the balloon's volume at 33°C?

Answer 1

Answer:

V2= 1.03L

Explanation:

Start off with what you are given.

V^1: 1.00L

T^1: 23°C

V^2?

T^2: 33°C

If you know your gas laws, you have to utilise a certain gas law called Charles' Law:

V^1/T^1 = V^2/T^2

Remember to convert Celsius values to Kelvin whenever you are dealing with gas problems. This can be done by adding 273 to whatever value in Celsius you have.

(23+273 = 296)     (33+273 = 306)

Multiply crisscross

1.00/296= V^2/306

296V^2 = 306

Dividing both sides by 296 to isolate V2, we get

306/296 = 1.0337837837837837837837837837838

V2= 1.03L
