Question

A student Increases the temperature of a 417 cubic centimeter balloon from 278 K to 231 K. Assuming constant pressure what should the new volume of the balloon be

Answer 1

Initial Conditions:
Volume= v1= 417 cm³
Temperature= T1 = 278 K
 
Final Conditions:
Temperature= T2 = 231K
Volume = v2 =?

Use the general gas equation;

                                        P1*v1/T1 =  P2*v2/T2
As, the temperature is constant;
 So,
                                               v1/T1 = v2/T2
                                              417/278 = v2/231
                                                  v2= 346.5 cm³
