24. The air in a small 250 cm birthday balloon is at a pressure of 760 torr. A boy sits on it at party to pop it
decreasing the volume tc-220 cm just before it pops. What is the new pressure assuming
constant temperature.

1.14atm

Explanation:

Given parameters:

V1 = 250cm³ ;

              1000cm³ = 1dm³;  so this is 0.25dm³

P1  = 760torr

            760torr  = 1atm

V2  = 220cm³ ; 0.22dm³

Unknown:

New pressure = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we apply Boyle's law and we use the expression below:

       P1 V1 = P2V2

The unknown is P2;

            1 x 0.25  = P2 x 0.22

                 P2  = 1.14atm

ca has a crystalline lattice with positive ions (since it is a metal, metals are positively charged) and electrons flow freely in its structure since the ca atoms have a large nuclear radius so the electrons are not tightly held, therefore the electrons can flow freely since they are not being highly attracted by the nucleus. moreover, one of the properties of metals are that they are conductors of electricity, thus proving ca is the element.
