A balloon is filled with a gas and has a volume of 1.79 L at 2.82 atm pressure. What will its volume be if
the pressure is changed to 5.30 atm?

Respuesta :

Answer:

The answer is 0.95 L

Explanation:

In order to find the volume when the pressure is changed to 5.30 atm we use Boyle's law which is

[tex]P_1V_1 = P_2V_2 \\[/tex]

where

P1 is the initial pressure

P2 is the final pressure

V1 is the initial volume

V2 is the final volume

Since we are finding the final volume

[tex]V_2 = \frac{P_1V_1}{P_2} \\ [/tex]

From the question

P1 = 2.82 atm

V1 = 1.79 L

P2 = 5.30 atm

So we have

[tex]V_2 = \frac{2.82 \times 1.79}{5.3} \\ = 0.9524150943...[/tex]

We have the final answer as

0.95 L

Hope this helps you
