Chapter 12, Problem 58AE

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Best representation of balloon filled with helium if temperature is dropped from $37°\text{C}$ to $-20°\text{C}$ below has to be determined.

Concept Introduction:

Gas is used to define one state of matter that has very large space between its molecules as compared with liquid and solid.

Charles’ law represents direct relation of volume of fixed mass of ideal gas with its temperature at fixed pressure.

Mathematically relation for Charles’ law is as follows:

  $V\propto T$

Here,

$V$ is volume of gas.

$T$ is temperature of gas.
