<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>
