1. The inflated balloon that slipped from the hand of Renee has a volume of 0.50 L at sea level (1.0 atm) and it reached a height of approximately 8 km where the atmospheric pressure is approximately 0.33 atm. Assuming that the temperature is constant, compute for the final volume of the balloon.

Answer:

7.39662

Step-by-step explanation:

we will use boyles principal which states that the volume of a fixed mass of gas is inversely proportional to it's pressure provided temperature is constant ... the volume or atmospheric air is always 22.414l or 22414cm³ and thus apply the formula p¹v¹=p²v² hence equate to ... 1.0atm*v¹=0.33*22414cm³... (*is multiplying)

Answer:

volume is 1.52

Step-by-step explanation:

when a graph of pressure of a fixed mass of gas is plotted the reciprocal of volume a straight line is obtained
