A student increases the temperature of a 556 cm3 balloon from 278 K to 308 K. Assuming constant pressure, what should the new volume of the view be?
320 cm3
501 cm3
1232 cm3
616 cm3

Respuesta :

To solve this we assume that the gas inside the balloon is an ideal gas. Then, we can use the ideal gas equation which is expressed as PV = nRT. At a constant pressure and number of moles of the gas the ratio T/V is equal to some constant. At another set of condition of temperature, the constant is still the same. Calculations are as follows:

 

T1 / V1 = T2 / V2

 

V2 = T2 x V1 / T1

 

V2 = 308 K x 556 cm³  / 278 K

 

V2 = 616 cm³
