Question

You have a balloon filled with 5 mL of air at a pressure of 5 atm. You pop the balloon,

changing the pressure of the air to 1.0 atm.
What will the new volume be? And how will the volume change increase or decrease

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Givens

V1 = 5 mL

P1 = 5 atm

V2 = ?

P2 = 1 atm

Formula

P1 * V1 = P2 * V2

5 * 5 = 1 * V2

V2 = 25 mL

The new volume = 25 mL

The new volume increased (by a factor of 5).
