Answer to Question #316375 in General Chemistry for hans

Question

For the problem below, what is the initial volume?

Edelman and Gronkowski want to play a game of beach volleyball. If the beach ball has a volume of 400 L at a temperature of 500 K, what will the temperature of the balloon be if the volume decreases to 176 L?

Answer 1

Using Charles' law

(V₁/T₁₎ = (V₂/T₂)

(400/500) = (176/T₂)

T₂ = (176*500)/400

T₂ = 220K
