Question
Mars has a mean surface temperature of $-63{ }^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$. What will the size of a balloon with a volume of $2.5 \mathrm{~L}$ on Earth be on Mars? Assume the average surface temperature of Earth is $25^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$
Step 1
The formula to convert Celsius to Kelvin is $K = C + 273$. For Mars, the temperature in Kelvin is $T_{M} = -63 + 273 = 210 \, K$. For Earth, the temperature in Kelvin is $T_{E} = 25 + 273 = 298 \, K$. Show more…
