An arctic weather balloon is filled with 20.9l of helium gas inside a prep shed. the temperature inside the shed is 13 degree c. the balloon is then taken outside, where the temperature is -9 degree c. calculate the new volume of the balloon. you may assume the pressure on the balloon stays constant at exactly 1 atm. round your answer to significant digits.

hey there!

The combined gas equation is  :

P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2  

Since Pressure is constant for this question it will cancel out leaving  

V1/T1 = V2/T2  

where  :

V1 = initial volume = 20.9 L  

T2 = initial temp (must be in Kelvin) = 286 K  

V2 = final volume = ? L  

T2 = final temp = 264 K  

Solve for V2  

V2 = V1T2 / T1  

= 20.9 L * 264 K / 286 K  

= 19.29 L  

= 19.3 L (3 sig digits)

Hope this helps!

metals are good conductor of electricity. it has free electrons on their surface. according to electron pool theory, each atom present in a metal crystal losses all of its valence electron and as a result a pool of free is form. these pool of electrons are free to move and   conduct electricity easily   while making metal as good conductor.

the correct answer is a. the ability of electrons to flow throughout the metal.
