On a ship sailing in pacific ocean where temperature is 23.4° C, a balloon is filled with 2 L air. What will be the volume of the balloon when the ship reaches the Indian ocean, where temperature is 26.1°C?
2.02 L
Explanation for correct option:
T1 = (23.4 + 273) = 296.4 K T2 = 26.1 + 273K = 299.1 K
V1 = 2 L V2 = ?
According to Charle’s law,
=
V2 =
V2 =
= 2 L x 1.009
= 2.018 L.
Hence, The correct option is (b)
