Answer:
It works by separating the fuel from the oxygen. The oxygen comes from the air. It is the same oxygen we breathe. Since the oxygen has to be in contact with the fuel, if you can coat the fuel with something that keeps the oxygen away, the fire will go out which is what the fire extinguisher does.
I think the answer is ‘repulsion’
<span>Answer: 17.8 cm
</span>
<span>Explanation:
</span>
<span>1) Since temperature is constant, you use Boyle's law:
</span>
<span>PV = constant => P₁V₁ = P₂V₂
</span><span>=> V₁/V₂ = P₂/P₁</span>
<span>
2) Since the ballon is spherical:
</span><span>V = (4/3)π(r)³</span>
<span>
Therefore, V₁/V₂ = (r₁)³ / (r₂)³
</span>
<span>3) Replacing in the equation V₁/V₂ = P₂/P₁:
</span><span><span>(r₁)³ / (r₂)³ </span>= P₂/P₁</span>
<span>
And you can solve for r₂: (r₂)³ = (P₁/P₂) x (r₁)³
</span>(r₂)³ = (1.0 atm / 0.87 atm) x (17 cm)³ = 5,647.13 cm³
<span>
r₂ = 17.8 cm</span>
