A helium balloon is filled to a volume of 5.60 L at 25 °C. What will the volume of the balloon become if it is put into liquid nitrogen to lower the temperature of the helium to 77 K?
Added by William H.
Step 1
The formula to convert Celsius to Kelvin is K = °C + 273.15. So, the initial temperature in Kelvin is 25 + 273.15 = 298.15 K. We can use the formula for Charles's Law, which states that the volume of a gas is directly proportional to its temperature in Kelvin, as Show more…
