On a cool morning (12"c), a balloon is filled with 1.5 l of helium. by mid afternoon, the temperature has soared to 32°c. what is the new volume of the balloon? selected

1.6 L

Explanation:

Using Charle's law  

Given ,  

V₁ = 1.5 L

V₂ = ?

T₁ = 12 °C

T₂ = 32 °C  

The conversion of T( °C) to T(K) is shown below:

T(K) = T( °C) + 273.15  

So,  

T₁ = (12 + 273.15) K = 285.15 K  

T₂ = (32 + 273.15) K = 305.15 K  

Using above equation as:

New volume = 1.6 L
