A sample of an ideal gas at 1.00 atm and a volume of 1.73 L was placed in a weighted balloon and dropped into the ocean. As the

sample descended, the water pressure compressed the balloon and reduced its volume. When the pressure had increased to 70.0 atm, what was the volume of the sample

Answer:

Volume is 0.0247L

Explanation:

This question involves the use of Boyle's law which states that the volume of a given mass of gas is inversely proportional to it's pressure provided that temperature remains constant.

Mathematically,

v = k/p

K = VP

P1V1 = P2V2 = P3V3 = .........=PnVn

V = volume

p = pressure

Data;

P1 =1.0atm

V1 = 1.73L

P2 = 70atm

V2 = ?

P1V1 = P2V2
