Question

A weather balloon has a volume of 1750 L at 103 kPa. The balloon is released to the atmosphere. At the highest point above the ground, the pressure on the balloon is 35.0 kPa. What is the new volume of the balloon at this height?

Answer 1

5.15 cubic meters or 5150 L

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the equation
`P_(1)V_(1) = P_(2)V_(2)`.

Step 1: Convert L to Cubic Meters

1L = 0.001
`m^(3)`

1750 L = 1.75
`m^(3)`

Step 2: Solve

`P_(1)V_(1) = P_(2)V_(2)\\(103kPa)(1.75 m^(3) ) = (35.0kPa)(V_(2))\\V_(2)=((103kPa)(1.75m^(3)))/(35.0kPa)\\V_(2)=5.15 m^(3)`
