Answer to Question #334152 in Chemistry for shimmy

Question

4.You have added 10 litres of air to a balloon at 1.0 atm. What is the new volume of the balloon if you take it to a 0.90 atmospheric pressure ?

Answer 1

P₁ = 1.00 atm

V₁ = 10 L

T₁ = T₂ = constant

P₂ = 0.90 atm

V₂ = ???

Solution:

Since the temperature and amount of gas remain unchanged, Boyle's law can be used.

Boyle's gas law can be expressed as: P₁V₁ = P₂V₂

To find the new voume of the balloon, solve the equation for V₂:

V₂ = P₁V₁ / P₂

V₂ = (1.00 atm × 10 L) / (0.90 atm) = 11.1 L

V₂ = 11.1 L

Answer: The new volume of the balloon is 11.1 liters
