In a question like this, you will be given that the molar gas constant is R = 8.31JK-1mol-1. However, committing this to memory will be helpful. We should use the ideal gas law: PV = nRT but the volume of the gas is the same as the volume of the ball. The ball has a radius r = 10cm then the volume of the ideal gas in the ball can be found by the formula for a volume of a sphere: V = 4/3πr3 By substitution in the ideal gas law we obtain: P*(4/3πr3) = nRT In order to find the amount of gas in the ball we should find n, thus: n = (4/3*(Pπr3))/(RT) n = (4/3*(2*(105)π(0.1)3)/(8.31×300)= 0.336 mol. In order to find the new temperature T1 we should use the ideal gas law again but with the new temperature T1 and volume V1 of the gas PV1 = nRT1 Hence: T1 = (PV1)/(nR) but we ought to find the new volume of the ideal gas, which is the same as the new volume of the ball. We can find it by the formula: V1 =4/3π(r-0.01)3 By substituting the formula for the new volume of the ideal gas in the ideal gas law, we obtain: T1 = (4/3*(Pπ(r-0.01)3))/(Rn) T1 = (4/3*(2*(10)5π(0.1-0.01)3))/(8.31×0.336)= 218.7K
