On a ship sailing in pacific ocean where temperature is 23.4, a balloon is filled with 2L air. What will be the volume of the balloon when the ship reaches Indian ocean, Where temperature is 26.1?
Given
V1=2L, T1=273+23.4=296.4K
V2=?, T2=273+26.1=299.1K
According to charles law
V1V2=T1T2
or, V2=V1T2T1
substuting the values, we have
V2=2L×299.1K296.4K
2L×1.009=2.018L
