1) If I have 45 liters of helium in a balloon at 25

0
C and increase the
temperature of the balloon to 55
0
C, what will the new volume of the
balloon be?
2) Calcium carbonate decomposes at 1200
0
C to form carbon dioxide and
calcium oxide If 25 liters of carbon dioxide are collected at 1200
0
C, what
will the volume of this !as be after it cools to 25
0
C?
") I have 1"0 liters of !as in a piston at a temperature of 250
0
C If I cool the
!as until the volume decreases to #5 liters, what will temperature of the
!as be?
