V1 / T1 = V2 / T2
where V1 and T1 represent the initial volume and temperature, and V2 and T2 represent the final volume and temperature, respectively.
Given:
Initial volume (V1) = 0.75 L
Initial temperature (T1) = 25°C = 25 + 273 = 298 K
Final temperature (T2) = –100°C = –100 + 273 = 173 K
We need to find the final volume (V2)
Rearranging the formula, we get:
V2 = (V1 x T2) / T1
Substituting the given values:
V2 = (0.75 L x 173 K) / 298 K
V2 = 0.43 L
Therefore, the new volume of the balloon when cooled to -100°C is 0.43 liters
