Question

A balloon is filled with helium gas has a volume of 1.0 L at a pressure of 1.0 atm. The

Answer 1

Answer:

2.5 L

Explanation:

The new volume of the balloon can be found by using the formula for Boyle's law which is

$P_1V_1 = P_2V_2$

Since we are finding the new volume

$V_2 = \frac{P_1V_1}{P_2}$

From the question we have

$V_2 = \frac{1 \times 1}{0.4} = \frac{1}{0.4} \\ = 2.5$

We have the final answer as

2.5 L
