Question

A balloon with a volume of 29 L at 118 psi is allowed to expand into a larger can with a total volume of 70 L. What is the pressure in psi of the gas in the larger container?

Answer 1

48.97 psi

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming the number of moles of gas and temperature remain constant, the initial and final pressures and volumes of the gas are related by the ideal gas law:

P1V1 = P2V2

where P1 and V1 are the initial pressure and volume of the gas in the balloon, and P2 and V2 are the final pressure and volume of the gas in the larger container.

Plugging in the given values, we get:

P2 = (P1V1) / V2

= (118 psi * 29 L) / 70 L

= 48.97 psi

Therefore, the pressure in the larger container is approximately 48.97 psi.

Answer 2

The pressure in the larger container would be 83.14 psi.
