Answer:
43.3 L
Explanation:
Applying,
V/T = V’/T’………………. Equation 1
Where V = Initial volume of the ball0on, T = Initial temperature of the balloon, V’ = Final volume of the balloon, T’ = Final Temperature of the balloon.
make V’ the subject of the equation
V’ = VT’/T……………. Equation 2
From the question,
Given: V = 47 L, T = 320 K, T’ = 295 K
Substitute these values into equation 2
V’ = (47×295)/320
V’ = 43.3 L
