Question

Julian and Jimmy are playing basketball outside in 82" weather if they leave the ball outside and
temperature drops down to 33 C what will happen to the volume of the gas in the ball if the pressure remains constant
romans constant
A Volume will remain the same
B Volume will increase
C Volume will decrease
D. Volume will double in size​

Answer 1

Answer:

The volume of the gas will decrease i.e.option(C).

Explanation:

We will solve this question through the concept of the Charles's law. Which is given as,

$\frac{V_1}{T_1}=\frac{V_2}{T_2}$           (1)   (Pressure is constant)

Where,

V₁=final volume

T₁=initial temperature

V₂=final temperature

T₂=final temperature

From the question we have,

T₁=82°C+273=355K

T₂=33°C+273=306K

We can also write equation (1) as,

$V\propto T$         (2)

From equation (2) we can see that volume and temperature are directly proportional. So, if the temperature decreases then the volume will also decrease.

Hence, the correct answer among the given option is volume will decrease i.e.(C).
