Question

A `10,000*L` volume of gas enclosed in a balloon at `298*K` is heated to `338*K` at constant pressure. What is the new volume?

Answer 1

The volume should increase, and the balloon should expand........

Explanation:

Old Charles' Law holds that `VpropT` at constant pressure, and thus `V=kT`. Solving for `k`, `V_1/T_1=V_2/T_2`......

and thus `V_2=V_1/T_1xxT_2`, temperature is specified to be on the `"Absolute scale........"`;

So `V_2=(10,000*L)/(298*K)xx338*K~=11*m^3`
