Question

A balloon contains 0.140 molmol of gas and has a volume of 2.78 LL . If an additional 0.152 molmol of gas is added to the balloon (at the same temperature and pressure), what will its final volume be?

Answer 1

Answer:

The final volume will be 5.80 L

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Number of moles gas = 0.140 moles

Volume of gas = 2.78 L

Number of moles added = 0.152 moles

Step 2: Calculate the final volume

V1/n1 = V2/n2

⇒ with V1 = the initial volume = 2.78 L

⇒ with n1 = the initial number of moles = 0.140 moles

⇒ with  V2 = The new volume = TO BE DETERMINED

⇒ with n2 = the new number of moles = 0.140 + 0.152 = 0.292 moles

2.78/0.140 = V2 /0.292

V2 = 5.80 L

The final volume will be 5.80 L
