Question

A balloon filled with an air sample occupies 3 L volume at 35 °C. On lowering the temperature to T, the volume decreases to 2.5 L. The temperature T is [Assume P constant]

• A. \( 25.67 \, ^\circ \text{C} \)
• B. \( 29.17 \, ^\circ \text{C} \)
• C. \( -16.33 \, ^\circ \text{C} \)
• D. \( -20.55 \, ^\circ \text{C} \)

Hint:

Always convert Celsius to Kelvin in gas law problems: \( K = °C + 273 \). Charles's Law: \( V_1/T_1 = V_2/T_2 \) at constant pressure.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C
