Question

A student increases the temperature of a 200 cm3 balloon from 60⁰C to 180⁰C. What should the new volume of the balloon be? Use the formula: V2 = (V1 T2)/T1
Question 3 options:

100 cm3


236 cm3


272 cm3


600 cm3

Answer 1

Let x represent the new volume:

$\frac{200}{60} =\frac{x}{180}$

cross multiply:

$\frac{36,000}{60x}$

then simplify to get 600cm^3

Hope this helps :)
