Explain how to do this?

If each balloon is filled with carbon dioxide gas at 20ºC and 1 atmosphere, calculate the mass and the number of moles of carbon dioxide in each balloon at maximum inflation. Use the ideal gas law in your calculation.

Do you also have the volume?

anonymous · Answer

Yes the volume is 15.9 in^3 for the first balloon, 29.2 in^3 for the second, and 37.9 for the third.

I don't know if you need all of them

anonymous · Answer

Is there a certain formula to use?

joannablackwelder · Answer

Yes, the ideal gas law. PV=nRT

anonymous · Answer

So what would you plug in for each?

joannablackwelder · Answer

You will need to calculate the moles of each balloon by solving for n (the number of moles).

joannablackwelder · Answer

You also need to choose your value of R based on the units.
