Question

A toy balloon can occupy 500 ml at 27°C. The maximum stretching capacity of the balloon is three times of the volume at 27°C. Calculate the temperature above which the balloon will burst if pressure of the balloon does not change.

Answer 1

According to Charle's law,

\(\frac{V_1}{T_1} = \frac{V_2}{T_2}\)

\(\frac{500}{300} = \frac{500\times 3}{T_2}\)

\(T_2 = 900K \)

\(= 900 - 273\)

\(= 627^\circ C\)
