Chapter 11, Problem 40E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The size of the balloon on Mars is to be calculated.

Concept Introduction: Charles’s law states the relation between volume and temperature. According to Charles’s law, the volume is directly proportional to temperature.

The equation for Charles’s Law is:

$\begin{array}{c}V\propto T\\ \frac{V}{T}=\text{constant}\end{array}$

For two different measurements, the equation of Charles’s law is:

$\frac{V_2}{T_2}=\frac{V_1}{T_1}$

Here, $V,T$ are volume and temperature respectively. Also, $k$ is constant.
