Their locations can vary depending on the molecule they are associated with but they are usually in a "cloud " that is on the outside of an atom/molecule and if the atom is unstable the electrons tend to be located farther away from the atom.
Answer:
THE NEW PRESSURE OF THE HELIUM GAS AT 2.98 L VOLUME IS 124.8 kPa.
AT AN INCREASE ALTITUDE, THERE IS A LOWER PRESSURE ENVIRONMENT AND THE HELIUM GAS PRESSURE DECREASES AND HENCE AN INCREASE IN VOLUME.
Explanation:
The question above follows Boyle's law of the gas law as the temperature is kept constant.
Boyle's law states that the pressure of a fixed mass of gas is inversely proportional to the volume, provided the temperature remains constant.
Mathematically, P1 V1 = P2 V2
P1 = 150 kPa = 150 *10^3 Pa
V1 = 2.48 L
V2 = 2.98 L
P2 = ?
Rearranging the equation, we obtain;
P2 = P1 V1 / V2
P2 = 150 kPa * 2.48 / 2.98
P2 = 372 *10 ^3 / 2.98
P2 = 124.8 kPa.
The new pressure of the gas when at a height which increases the volume of the helium gas to 2.98 L is 124.8 kPa.
