Chapter 5, Problem 5.52QP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Temperature has to be determined in $\text{°F}$ at which the volume of ideal gas gets doubled if balloon filled with ideal gas at temperature of $\text{50°F}$ occupies a volume of $\text{5}\text{.00}\text{L}$.

Concept Introduction:

Charles’s law states that the volume of gas is directly proportional to the absolute temperature if the pressure and number of moles of the gas are kept as constant.  This can be expressed as,

    $\frac{V}{T}=k_c$

During temperature change, the initial and final can be related as,

    $\frac{V_i}{T_i}=\frac{V_f}{T_f}$
