a student decreases the temperature of a 556 cm balloon from 278 K to 231 K. Assuming constant pressure, what should be the new volume of the balloon be? a. 417 cm
b 462 cm
c. 924 cm
d. 376 cm

Respuesta :

The problem gives two temperature and a constant pressure and asks for the resulting volume. The problem is an application of Charles' law. Assuming ideal gas law equation is also applicable, [tex] \frac{ V_{1} }{ T_{1} } [/tex]=[tex] \frac{ V_{2} }{ T_{2} } [/tex]. Substituting volume 1 equals 556 cm3, T1=278 K and T2=231 K, then volume 2 is 462 cm3. Hence, the answer is B.
