Chapter 10, Problem 47RQ

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The volume occupied by the gas present in the balloon, at the given temperature and constant pressure is to be calculated.

Concept Information:

The relation between temperature and volume of a gas is determined by Charles’ law.

According to Charles’ law, the volume of a gas is directly proportional to its temperature and the ratio of volume and temperature of the gas is constant.

The relation between initial and final temperature of a gas is given by the following expression:

$\frac{V_1}{T_1}=\frac{V_2}{T_2}$ ……(1)

Here, $T_1$ is the initial temperature of the gas, $V_1$ is the initial volume of the gas, $T_2$ is the final temperature of the gas, and $V_2$ is the final volume of the gas.
