Answer:
The 12L helium tank pressurized to 160 atm will fill <em>636 </em>3-liter balloons
Explanation:
It is possible to answer this question using Boyle's law:
Where P₁ is the pressure of the tank (160atm), V₁ is the volume of the tank (12L), P₂ is the pressure of the balloons (1atm, atmospheric pressure) And V₂ is the volume this gas will occupy at 1 atm, thus:
160atm×12L = 1atm×V₂
V₂ = 1920L
As the tank will never be empty, the volume of the gas able to fill balloons is the total volume minus 12L, thus the volume of helium able to fill balloons is:
1920L - 12L = 1908L
1908L will fill:
1908L× = <em>636 balloons</em>
