A helium-filled balloon has a volume of 10 000 L at 20°C. Determine the volume of the
gas at 25 °C

Respuesta :

Answer:

12,500 L

Explanation:

Because you are dealing with volume and temperature, you need to Charles' Law to find your missing value. The equation looks like this:

V₁ / T₁ = V₂ / T₂

In this equation, "V₁" and "T₁" represent the initial volume and temperature. "V₂" and "T₂" represent the final volume and temperature. You can plug the given values into the equation and simplify to find the final volume of the gas.

V₁ = 10,000 L                 V₂ = ? L

T₁ = 20 °C                       T₂ = 25 °C

V₁ / T₁ = V₂ / T₂                                             <----- Charles' Law equation

(10,000 L) / (20 °C) = V₂ / (25 °C)                <----- Insert values

500 = V₂ / (25 °C)                                        <----- Divide 20 from 10,000

12,500 = V₂                                                 <----- Multiply both sides by 25
