Question

A balloon is floating around outside your window. The temperature outside is 21 ∘C , and the air pressure is 0.700 atm . Your neighbor, who released the balloon, tells you that he filled it with 4.70 moles of gas. What is the volume of gas inside this balloon?

Answer 1

Answer:

$V=162L$

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, we can compute the required volume by using the ideal gas equation as shown below:

$PV=nRT$

Thus, solving for the volume and considering absolute temperature (in Kelvins), we obtain:

$V=\frac{nRT}{P}= \frac{4.70mol*0.082\frac{atm*L}{mol*K}*(21+273)K}{0.700atm} \\\\V=162L$

Best regards.
