Answer to Question #18851 in Inorganic Chemistry for michael

Question

A gas in a balloon expands from 2L to 3L against 2 atm of pressure, what is the change in temperature relative to the initial temperature?

This was all the information given, please explain how to solve this. Thanks!

Answer 1

At constant pressure thevolume refers to temperature as V₁/T₁ = V₂/T₂; so if the volume hasincreased by 50%, and the temperature will increase by 50% or by 1.5
