Answer:
42.45 L
Explanation:
Using the Charle's law equation as follows:
V1/T1 = V2/T2
Where;
T1 = initial temperature (K)
T2 = final temperature (K)
V1 = initial volume (L)
V2 = final volume (L)
Based on the information provided in this question;
V1 = 46.0 L
V2 = ?
T1 = 12°C = 12 + 273 = 285K
T2 = -10°C = -10 + 273 = 263K
Using V1/T1 = V2/T2
46/285 = V2/263
Cross multiply
285V2 = 46 × 263
285V2 = 12098
V2 = 12098 ÷ 285
V2 = 42.45L
The new volume of the balloon is 42.45 L.
