Chapter 11, Problem 45E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The final volume of a balloon immersed in liquid nitrogen at $77\text{K}$, under constant pressure is to be calculated.

Concept Introduction:

Charles’s law states that the volume of an ideal gas at constant pressure is in direct proportionalitywith the absolute temperature.

$\text{V}\propto \text{T}$

$\frac{\text{V}1}{\text{T}1}=\frac{\text{V}2}{\text{T}2}$

Here, ${\text{V}}_1$ and ${\text{V}}_2$ are the initial and final volumes of the ideal gas. Also, ${\text{T}}_1$ is the initial temperature and ${\text{T}}_2$ is the final temperature of the ideal gas.

Converting degree Celsius to Kelvin by adding $273\text{K}$, the conversion factor is as,

$\text{T}=°\text{C}\text{+ 273}\text{K}$
