Please I need this answer quick I will give brainliest

A student decreases the temperature of a 417 cm³ balloon from 278 K to 231 K.

Assuming constant pressure, what should the new volume of the balloon be?


376 cm³

417 cm³

462 cm³

924 cm³

Respuesta :

Answer:

The new volume of the balloon is [tex]346.5\ cm^3[/tex].

Explanation:

Initial volume of a balloon is 417 cm³

The temperature decreases from 278 K to 231 K.

It is required to find the new volume of the balloon if the pressure is constant pressure. At constant pressure, volume is directly proportional to the temperature. So,

[tex]V\propto T[/tex]

i.e.

[tex]\dfrac{V_1}{V_2}=\dfrac{T_1}{T_2}[/tex]

V₂ is final volume.

[tex]V_2=\dfrac{V_1T_2}{T_1}\\\\V_2=\dfrac{417\times 231}{278}\\\\V_2=346.5\ cm^3[/tex]

So, the new volume of the balloon is [tex]346.5\ cm^3[/tex].
