On a ship sailing in the Pacific ocean, where the 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 the temperature is 26.1∘ C?
2.0184 L
According to Charles' law
V1T1=V2T2
V1=2L, V2 = ?
T1 = 273 + 23.4 = 296.4K
T2 = 273 + 26.1 = 299.1K
Therefore, V2=V1×T2T1
=2×299.1296.4
= 2.0182 L
