A balloon contains 500 m3 of helium at 27o C and 1 atmosphere pressure. The volume of the helium at - 3° C temperature and 0.5 atmosphere pressure will be
1000 m3
900 m3
700 m3
500 m3
B.
900 m3
According to Boyle's law
V ∝
The volume of a given amount of gas is proportional to the ratio of its Kelvin temperature and its pressure
As the temperature goes up and vice versa.
Using gas equation law
⇒
⇒ V2 = 900 m3
