Question

A 6.0 L balloon is at a temperature of 273 K. When the balloon is heated to 323 K, what is the volume at constant pressure? *

A) 7.10 L
B) 2.37 L
C) 4.50 L
D) 1.93 L

Answer 1

The volume of the balloon at constant pressure when heated to 323 K is 7.10 L.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to Charles' law, the volume of a gas is directly proportional to its temperature at constant pressure. To find the new volume of the balloon, we can use the formula:

V1/T1 = V2/T2

Given:

• V1 = 6.0 L
• T1 = 273 K
• T2 = 323 K

Substituting the values into the formula, we have:

6.0 L/273 K = V2/323 K

Solving for V2:

V2 = (6.0 L * 323 K) / 273 K = 7.10 L

Therefore, the volume of the balloon at constant pressure when heated to 323 K is 7.10 L (option A).
