Answer to Question #107577 in General Chemistry for Lily

Question

A balloon has a volume of 15.0L at 1.00 atm of pressure. If the pressure is reduced to 0.850 atm, what will the new volume be?

Answer 1

According to the formula

P1V1=P2V2

V2=(P1V1) /P2

Where P1 and P2 are initial pressure and final pressure respectively

V1 and V2 initial and final volume respectively

According to the question

V2=(1*15)/0.85 L

=17.64L
