Question

A balloon with a volume of 5.0 L is filled with a gas at 760 tore. If the pressure is reduced to 389 torr without a change in temperature. What will be the volume of the balloon?

Answer 1

`V_2=9.97L`

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello,

In this case, we can apply the Boyle's law in order to understand the pressure-volume relationship as an inversely proportional relationship:

`P_1V_1=P_2V_2`

Thus, we can solve for the resulting volume at the second state as follows:

`V_2=(P_1V_1)/(P_2)=(5.0L*760torr)/(389tor) \\\\V_2=9.97L`

Best regards.
