A balloon is filled with helium at sea level. The volume was measured to be 3.1 liters at a pressure of 0.97 atmosphere. If the balloon is released, it drifts upward. At a height of 4 kilometers, the pressure is measured to be 0.61 atmospheres. What is the volume of the balloon?

Question

aaronq · Answer

same formula

P1V1=P2V2

(0.97atm)(3.1L)=(0.61atm)(xL)

notice that you are reducing the pressure, so your volume will be larger

btw you can only do this since you're keeping all other values (n, R ,T) constant

0.9, 1.9, 2.0, or 4.9
