Answer:
4.75 mL is the new volume of the balloon at the top of Pikes Peak.
Explanation:
The combined gas equation is,
where:
= initial pressure of helium gas , at 8500 feet = 571.2 Torr
= initial volume of helium gas , at 8500 feet=
= initial temperature of helium gas , at 8500 feet=
= final pressure of helium gas, at 14,100 feet = 400 Torr
= final volume of helium gas, at 14,100 feet = ?
= final temperature of helium gas , at 14,100 feet=
Now put all the given values in the above equation, we get:
4.75 mL is the new volume of the balloon at the top of Pikes Peak.
