Explanation:
using Boyles law: which shows the relationship between pressure and volume, when temperature Is kept constant
P1V1 = P2V2
2 x 7.2 = 0.5 x V2
14.4 = 0.5 x V2
V2 = 14.4/0.5 = 28.8 L
Hence the new size of the balloon in litres is 28.8
A. It can be as important to a story as a character
Let the 8% solution be A, the 20% solution be B and the final solution be C.
C = A + B
C = 12 + B
0.16C = 0.08(12) + 0.2(B)
0.16(12 + B) = 0.96 + 0.2B
0.96 = 0.04B
B = 24 Liters
C = 12 + 24
C = 36 Liters
