Question

A hot air balloon is filled with of an ideal gas on a cool morning ( The air is heated to What is the volume of the air in the balloon after it is heated? Assume that none of the gas escapes from the balloon.

Answer 1

Charles's law states that V1 / T1 = V2 / T2. However, you must make sure that T is in Kelvin, not C.

1.19E6 / (11 + 273) = V2 / (113 + 273)

V2 = 1.62E6

Step-by-step explanation:

Gases expand when heated if the container they are in is flexible. When the gas is heated its molecules move faster and faster. The collisions of the gas particles with the flexible container wall expand.
