A balloon filled with 1.22 l of gas at 286 k is heated until the volume is 2.86 L while the pressure remains constant. What is the temperature of gas in Kelvin. Round to nearest whole number

Answer: 670K

Explanation:

Given that,

Original volume of gas V1 = 1.22 L

Original temperature T1 = 286 K

New volume V2 = 2.86 L

New temperature T2 = ?

Since volume and temperature are involved while pressure is constant, apply the formula for Charles law

V1/T1 = V2/T2

1.22 L/286 K = 2.86 L / T2

Cross multiply

1.22 L x T2 = 286 K x 2.86 L

1.22T2 = 817.96

Divide both sides by 1.22

1.22T2/1.22 = 817.96/1.22

T2 = 670.459 K (Round to the nearest whole number as 670 K)

Thus, the temperature of the gas is 670 Kelvin
