A #10,000L# volume of gas enclosed in a balloon at #298K# is heated to #338*K# at constant pressure. What is the new volume?

Answer 1

Natalie Anton

The volume should increase, and the balloon should expand........

Old Charles' Law holds that #VpropT# at constant pressure, and thus #V=kT#. Solving for #k#, #V_1/T_1=V_2/T_2#......

and thus #V_2=V_1/T_1xxT_2#, temperature is specified to be on the #"Absolute scale........"#;

So #V_2=(10,000*L)/(298*K)xx338*K~=11*m^3#

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
