Question

A 365 L balloon is blown up inside at 283 K. It is then taken outside in the hot sun and Heated to 300K. What is the new volume?

Answer 1

V₁ = initial Volume of the balloon after it is blown up = 365 L

V₂ = new Volume of the balloon after it is taken outside = ?

T₁ = initial temperature of the balloon = 283 K

T₂ = new temperature of the balloon = 300 K

using the equation

V₁/V₂ = T₁/T₂

365/V₂ = 283/300

V₂ = 387 L
