A balloon is inflated to a volume of 8.0 L on a day when the atmospheric pressure is 1.013 bar . The next day, a storm front arrives, and the atmospheric pressure drops to 0.968 bar . Assuming the temperature remains constant, what is the new volume of the balloon, in liters

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, according to the definition of the Boyle's law, which describes de pressure-volume behavior as an inversely proportional relationship, it is possible for us to write:

Thus, since we are given the initial pressure and temperature, and the final pressure, we are able to calculate the final volume as shown below:

Regards!

the ideal gas law equation is as follows

pv = nrt

where p - pressure

v - volume

n - number of moles

r - universal gas constant

t - temperature

so if the pressure, volume and temperature are already known

we are left with n and r

since r is the universal gas constant that has a known fixed value then r too is known

so we are left with 'n'

once we know temperature volume and pressure

we can find the number of moles of gas present using the ideal gas law equation
