A balloon filled with 1.22 l of gas at 286 k is heated until the volume is 2.86 L while the pressure remains constant. What is the temperature of gas in Kelvin. Round to nearest whole number

670K

Explanation:

Given that,

Original volume of gas V1 = 1.22 L

Original temperature T1 = 286 K

New volume V2 = 2.86 L

New temperature T2 = ?

Since volume and temperature are involved while pressure is constant, apply the formula for Charles law

V1/T1 = V2/T2

1.22 L/286 K = 2.86 L/ T2

Cross multiply

1.22 L x T2 = 286 K x 2.86 L

1.22T2 = 817.96

Divide both sides by 1.22

1.22T2/1.22 = 817.96/1.22

T2 = 670.459 K (Round to the nearest whole number as 670 K)

Thus, the temperature of the gas is 670 Kelvin

explanation:

two years ago, when picking flowers in the mountains back of yosemite valley, i found a book. it was blotted and storm-beaten; all of its outer pages were mealy and crumbly. the paper seemed to dissolve like the snow beneath which it had been buried, however; many of the inner pages were well preserved. and although all were more or less stained and torn, whole chapters were easily readable. this is the condition of the great open book of yosemite glaciers today; its granite pages have been torn and blurred by the same storms that wasted the castaway book.
