Question

A balloon is filled with 0.250 mole of air at 35°C. If the volume of the balloon is 6.23 liters, what is the absolute pressure of the air in the balloon?

Answer 1

Answer: 103 Kilopascals

Explanation: I got this right on Edmentum.

Answer 2

Answer is: the absolute pressure of the air in the balloon is 1.015 atm (102.84 kPa).

n = 0.250 mol; amount of substance.

V = 6.23 L; volume of the balloon.

T = 35°C = 308.15 K; temperature.

R = 0.08206 L·atm/mol·K, universal gas constant.

Ideal gas law: p·V = n·R·T.

p = n·R·T / V.

p = 0.250 mol · 0.08206 L·atm/mol·K · 308.15 K / 6.23 L.

p = 1.015 atm; presure of the air.
