A 5.00 liter balloon of gas at 25°C is cooled to 0°C.What is the new volume (liters)of the balloon?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The volume and temperature of a gas are directly proportional if pressure and amount are constant. Therefore, we can use the following equation to solve for the new volume:
V2 = (T2/T1)*V1
where V1 = 5.00 L, T1 = 25°C + 273.15 = 298.15 K, and T2 = 0°C + 273.15 = 273.15 K
V2 = (273.15/298.15)*5.00 L = 4.58 L (rounded to two significant figures)
