Question

A balloon filled with helium gas at 1.00 atm occupies 15.6 L. Will the volume of the balloon increase or decrease in the upper atmosphere, at a pressure of 0.150 atm?

Answer 1

The volume of the balloon increases in the upper atmosphere.

Step-by-step explanation:

p1= 1 atm

p2= 0.15 atm

V1= 15.6 L

V2= ?

p1*V1= p2 * V2

V2= (p1/p2)*V1

V2= 104 L
