A balloon that contains \( 0.25 \mathrm{~L} \) of air at \( 25 .{ }^{\circ} \mathrm{C} \) is cooled to \( -166 .{ }^{\circ} \mathrm{C} \). The pressure and the number of gas particles do not change. What volume (in \( \mathrm{L} \) ) does the balloon occupy at \( -166 .{ }^{\circ} \mathrm{C} \) ? Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant figures. L \( \square \times 10 \)

Step 1
We need to find the new volume of a balloon when it is cooled from \(25^\circ C\) to \(-166^\circ C\), given that the initial volume is \(0.25 \, L\), and assuming the pressure and the number of gas particles remain constant. Show more…

Hot-Air Balloons A sample of air occupies 2.50 $\mathrm{L}$ at a temperature of $22.0^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ . What volume will this sample occupy inside a hot-air balloon at a temperature of $43.0^{\circ} \mathrm{C} ?$ Assume that the pressure inside the balloon remains constant.
A weather balloon with a fixed pressure containing a fixed amout of gas has a volume of 14.51 L at 315 K. If the ballon is cooled to 291 K, what will its new volume be in L? (Enter your answer as a number with the correct amount of significant figures; do not include the units.)

A latex balloon contains 10.0 L of helium at 298K. What is the volume of the balloon after it is cooled to 233K? Assume that the pressure is a constant 0.98 atm and the amount of gas in the balloon is a constant 0.40 mol. The answer is: 7.82 L. What law do I use? How do I solve this?
