Answer:
New volume of the baloon is 0.02325m^3
Explanation:
To answer this question we need to know the ideal gas law, which says:
p•V = n•R•T
p is pressure, V is volume, n is amount of substance (in moles), R is constant value and T is temperature.
Since it's stated that n and T are constant, and we know that R is a constant too, that means that p•V = constant value. Basically, that means that p1•V1 (pressure and volume before the pressure increase) equals to p2•V2 (pressure and volume after the pressure increase).
That means that:
100000 Pa • 0.0279 m^3 = 120000 Pa • V2. Next, V2= 100000•0.0279/120000. So, V2=0.02325m^3.
