Answer to Question #249927 in General Chemistry for MAY

Question

a whether balloon with a volume of 2000L at a pressure of 96.3kPa rises to an altitude of 1000m. where the atmospheric pressure is measured to be 60.8kPa. assuming there is no change in the temperature or the amount of gas. calculate the weather balloons final volume.

Answer 1

P₁ =96.3kPa

V₁ =2000L

P₂ = 60.8kPa

V₂ = ?

P₁V₁ = P₂V₂

V₂ = (P₁V₁)/P₂

=(96.3*2000)/60.8

=3167.76315789

V₂ =3168L
