If anyone show me step by step how to get to the answer I would greatly appreciate it and I'll give you a 5 star rating.
A balloon contains 3.7 liters of nitrogen gas at a temperature of 87 K and a pressure of 101 kPa. If the temperature of the gas is allowed to increase to 24 C and the pressure remains constant, what volume will the gas occupy?
Not sure if I'm doing it right, but so far I have...
V=3.7 L
Ti=87 K
Tf=24 C to 273 K=297 K
P=101 kPa = 101,000 Pa
V1*T1 = V2*T2
3.7*87 = V2*297
322 = V2*297
The answer is 13L.
Where do I go from here?

-
The temperature is divided; it is not multiplied. Otherwise you are correct.
V1/T1 = V2 / T2
3.7 *297 / 87 = V2
V2 = 12.63 L
Round to the proper number of sig digs.
