a student decreases the temperature of a 556 cm^3 balloon from 278 K to 231 K. Assuming constant pressure, what should the new volume of the balloon be
Given: A student decreases the temperature of a 556 cm^3 balloon from 278 K to 231 K at constant pressure Required: new volume of the balloon Solution: Apply Boyle's law V1/T1 = V2/T2 (556 cm3) / (278K) = V2 / (231 K) V2 = 462 cm3
