Answer to Question #110758 in General Chemistry for Edwin Estrada

Question

A ballon is filled with helium, and it’s volume is 2.2L at 298 K and at atmospheric pressure. the ballon bursts if it’s volume exceeds 2.3L. At what temperature would you expect the ballon to burst if the atmospheric pressure remains a constant

Answer 1

T₁=298 K

V₁=2.2 L

If the ballon bursts the final: - volume: V₂=2.3 L

-Temperature: T₂=x

V₁/T₁=V₂/T₂;

T₂=T₁*V₂/V₁=298*2.3/2.2=311.5 K

Answer: 311.5 K
