A balloon contains 1.21 x 105 L of ideal gas at 265K. The gas is then cooled to 201 K. What is the volume (L) assuming no gas enters or exits the balloon

Respuesta :

Answer:

The new volume will be 0.918 x 10^5 L

Explanation:

initial volume  [tex]V_{1}[/tex] = 1.21 x 10^5 L

Initial temperature [tex]T_{1}[/tex] = 265 K

Final volume [tex]V_{2}[/tex] = ?

Final temperature [tex]T_{2}[/tex] = 201 K

Th gas is an ideal gas.

For ideal gases, the equation [tex]V_{1}[/tex]/[tex]T_{1}[/tex] = [tex]V_{2}[/tex]/[tex]T_{2}[/tex] = constant

substituting value, we have

(1.21 x 10^5)/265 = [tex]V_{2}[/tex]/201

[tex]V_{2}[/tex] =  24321000/265 = 91777.4 L

= 0.918 x 10^5 L
