Question

in santa monica a dry hydrogen gas inflates a balloon to 43.0 mL at 761 torr.if the temperature remains unchanged, what if the balloons volume in denver where the pressure is 12.2 psi

Answer 1

The volume in Denver is 51.9 mL.

Step-by-step explanation:

The gas initially occupies a volume V₁ = 43.0 mL at a pressure P₁ = 761 torr. To find the volume V₂ at a pressure P₂ = 12.2 psi, when temperature is unchanged, we can use Boyle's law.

P₁.V₁ = P₂.V₂

We need the relation 1 psi = 51.7 torr.

`V_(2)=(P_(1).V_(1))/(P_(2)) =(761torr.43.0mL)/(12.2psi) .(1psi)/(51.7torr) =51.9mL`
