the temperature of a balloon rises from 275 degrees k to 395 degrees k, what would the ending volume be if it started at 5 L

Respuesta :

Answer:

7.182K

Explanation:

From the question we are given;

  • Initial temperature, T1 = 275 K
  • Final temperature, T2 = 395 K
  • Initial volume, V1 = 5 L

We are required to calculate the final volume, V2

  • Charles's law is the law that relates the volume of a gas and its temperature.
  • It states that the volume of a fixed mass of a gas and its absolute temperature are directly proportional at a constant pressure.
  • Therefore;

[tex]\frac{V1}{T1}=\frac{V2}{T2}[/tex]

To calculate, V2 we rearrange the formula;

[tex]V2=\frac{V1T2}{T1}[/tex]

[tex]V2=\frac{(5L)(395K)}{275}[/tex]

[tex]V2=7.182K[/tex]

Therefore, the ending volume will be 7.182K
