Final answer:
The amount of water required to inflate a balloon depends on the size of the balloon and the amount of air or gas needed to fill it. To determine the amount of gas or air required, we need to know the density of the gas or air being used. Without more information, an exact answer cannot be given.
Step-by-step explanation:
The amount of water required to inflate a balloon depends on the size of the balloon and the amount of air or gas needed to fill it. Since the question mentions a 5ml balloon, it is assumed that the student is referring to the volume of the balloon, not the amount of water used to inflate it.
To determine the amount of gas or air required to inflate the balloon, we need to know the density of the gas or air being used. If the density is known, we can calculate the mass of the gas or air and then use its molar mass to determine the number of moles of gas or air needed. From there, we can calculate the volume of the gas or air using the ideal gas law.
Without more information about the gas or air being used, such as its density or molar mass, it is not possible to provide an exact answer to the question. If the student has more specific information, please provide it so that a more accurate answer can be given.
