Problema Solution
Charles's Law states that the volume V occupied by a gas (at a constant pressure) is directly proportional to its absolute temperature T. An experiment with a balloon shows that the volume of balloon is 0.85 liter at 270 K (absolute temperature). What will the volume of balloon be when its temperature is 325 K?
Answer provided by our tutors
Let 'V' represent the volume of the balloon at temperature of 325 K.
0.85 : 270 = V : 325
