A sample of gas in a balloon has an initial temperature of 21 ∘C and a volume of 1310 L. If the temperature changes to 70 ∘C, and there is no change of pressure or amount of gas, what is the new volume, V2, of the gas? Express your answer with the appropriate units.

1528.3L

Explanation:

To solve this problem we should know this formula:

V₁ / T₁ = V₂ / T₂

We must convert the values of T° to Absolute T° (T° in K)

21°C + 273 = 294K

70°C + 273 = 343K

Now we can replace the data

1310L / 294K = V₂ / 343K

V₂ = (1310L / 294K). 343K → 1528.3L

If the pressure keeps on constant, volume is modified directly proportional to absolute temperature. As T° has increased, the volume increased too
