Answer to Question #114059 in General Chemistry for Alejandra Collins

Question

A balloon has a volume of 0.353 L at 256 K. The volume of the balloon is decreased to 0.265 L. Determine the new temperature. Gas Law used:_______________________

Answer 1

Using Charles's law: $V/T=const$

so $V_1/T_1=V_2/T_2$

$T_2=T_1V_2/V_1$

T₂=256K*0,353L/0,256L=353K

Answer:353K.
