A balloon is filled with 4.57 liters of air at room temperature(23.3 deg C). Liquid nitrogen is poured over the balloon until the gas is at a temperature of -197 degrees C. What volume with the gas have inside the balloon?
The pressure on the inside of the balloon will remain constant throughout the experiment
The pressure on the inside of the balloon will remain constant throughout the experiment
1 Answer
Explanation:
So refer to the Charle's Law equation
- we know it's this equation because of constant pressure
We have our first volume
Our first temperature
And our second temperature
Our unknown is the second volume
Before we plug our values into the equation, we need to convert the temperature into Kelvin
We can do this by taking the
Now we can plug our values into the equation
We need to isolate
- The Kelvin
#(K)# cancel out, leaving Liters#(L)#
After you multiply
