Summary Introduction

To determine:

The final volume of a balloon if the volume of balloon is $\text{0}\text{.50 Litre(l)}$, initial temperature is ${\text{72}}^{\text{o}}\text{F}$, and final temperature is ${\text{103}}^{\text{o}}\text{F}$.

Introduction:

Charles’s law states that the volume of a fixed amount of gas at constant pressure is directly proportional to its absolute temperature. An increase in the temperature of the gas will increase its volume whereas a decrease in temperature will result in a decrease in volume. The volume of balloon is measured in liters and temperature is calculated in degree Fahrenheit and Celsius. The volume of balloon is $\text{0}\text{.50 Litre(l)}$ at temperature ${\text{72}}^{\text{o}}\text{F}$, the final temperature reaches ${\text{103}}^{\text{o}}\text{F}$ at a constant pressure.
