chemistry question

Yea espeacially when they ask what made him think those formulas wouldn't work and all he knows is the names of them.

The answer is 81 degrees C.

To solve it you use the ideal gas law (that is assuming that the gas in the question is an ideal gas, which you didn't specify). The law states PV=nRT.
n=number of moles of the gas
R= the universal gas constant
Both of these don't change for the gas in the balloon, so they are both constants, as is P because it is specified as such in the equation.

This gives you V/T = V'/T'

The ideal gas law requires that temperature is in Kelvin, so 22 + 273.15 = 295.15 K

This leaves us with 50cc/295.15K = 60cc/?
Yields---> 354.18K

If you want it in celsius 354.18-273.15 = 81.03 C

LOL, you beat me to it.

ditto...I still remember ideal gas...freshman year chem...but I was political science instead...
