Based on Charles's Law, which states that at constant pressure, the volume of a gas is directly proportional to its temperature, we can determine how the volume of the balloon changes.
The initial temperature of the balloon is 150 K, and the final temperature is 300 K. Since the temperatures are in Kelvin units, which is an absolute temperature scale, the change in temperature can be calculated as:
Change in temperature = Final temperature - Initial temperature
Change in temperature = 300 K - 150 K
Change in temperature = 150 K
If the volume of the balloon is directly proportional to the temperature, then the change in volume will also be proportional to the change in temperature. Since the change in temperature is 150 K, we can infer that the volume will increase by 150 P (units unspecified).
A balloon under constant pressure goes from a very cold freezer 150 K to a hot car at 300 K does the volume increase by 150 P does the volume double does the volume cut in half or does the volume stay the same?
