Chapter 8, Problem 8.55AP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The original temperature of a hot air balloon with a volume of $875\text{L}$ should be determined when its volume changes to $\text{955}\text{L}\text{at}\text{56°C}$

Concept Introduction:

Charles’s law: States that volume is directly proportional to temperature when the gas is held at constant pressure and number of molecules.

$\begin{array}{l}\text{V}\propto \text{T}\\ \text{V}\text{=}\text{constant}\text{×}\text{T}\\ \frac{{\text{V}}_{\text{1}}}{{\text{T}}_{\text{1}}}\text{=}\frac{{\text{V}}_{\text{2}}}{{\text{T}}_{\text{2}}}\end{array}$
