A balloon is filled to a volume of 2.20L at a temperature of 22*C. The balloon is then heated to a temperature of 71*C. Find the new volume of the balloon

2.565L

Explanation:

Charles law states that the volume of an ideal gas at constant pressure is directly proportional to the absolute temperature. V/T=K

V1/T1=V2/T2

Unit of Kelvin = 273.15

To get the absolute temperature, we need to convert the degree celsius temperature to kelvin.

T1 = 22+273.15 = 295.15 K

T2 = 71+273.15 = 344.15 K

V1 = 2.20 L

V2 = ?

2.20/295.15=V2/344.15

0.00745 x 344.15 = 2.565 L

Hence, 2.565 L is the new volume of the balloon.
