You bought a helium balloon for a friend’s winter birthday. The outside temperature was -34 degrees C. The store was at a comfortable 298K. The volume of the balloon immediately after the store clerk filled it was 6 liters. What was the volume after you brought it outside? Show your work. Make sure to include units.

4.81 L

Explanation:

From the question given above, we obtained the following information:

Initial temperature (T₁) = 298 K

Initial Volume (V₁) = 6 L

Final Temperature (T₂) = – 34 °C

Final Volume (V₂) =?

Next, we shall convert – 34 °C to Kelvin temperature. This can be obtained as follow:

T(K) = T(°C) + 273

T(°C) = – 34 °C

T(K) = – 34 + 273

T(K) = 239 K

Thus, –34 °C is equivalent to 239 K

Finally, we shall determine the final volume of the balloon as follow:

Initial temperature (T₁) = 298 K

Initial Volume (V₁) = 6 L

Final Temperature (T₂) = 239 K

Final Volume (V₂) =?

V₁ / T₁ = V₂ / T₂

6 / 298 = V₂ / 239

Cross multiply

298 × V₂ = 6 × 239

298 × V₂ = 1434

Divide both side by 298

V₂ = 1434 / 298

V₂ = 4.81 L

Thus, the volume of the balloon when it was brought outside the store was 4.81 L.
