A ballon contains 1500 ~m ^3 of a helium at 27^ C and 4 itmospheric pressure. The volume of helium at -3^ C temperature and 2 atmo snheric pressure will be
Options
- A2700 ~m ^3
- B1900 ~m ^3
- C1700 ~m ^3
- D1500 ~m ^3
Correct answer
A. 2700 ~m ^3
Step-by-step solution
The general gas equation is P₁ V₁ T₁ = P₂ V₂ T₂ = gas constant where p₁, V₁, p₂, V₂ are pressure and volume at temperatures T₁ and T₂ respectively. Given V₁=1500 ~m ^3, T₁=27+273=300 ~K , aligned p₁ & =4 ~atm T₂ & =-3 ^ C =273-3=270 ~K , p₂=2 ~atm V₂ & = p₁ V₁ T₁ T₂ p₂ V₂ & = 4 1500 300 270 2 V₂ & =2700 ~m ^3 aligned
