Question

A 10.0 L balloon contains helium gas at a pressure of 655 mmHg. What is the final pressure, in millimeters of mercury, if the final volume is 13.8 L?

Answer 1

Answer:

474.64mmHg

Explanation:

From the question given, we obtained the following:

V1 = 10L

P1 = 655mmHg

V2 = 13.8L

P2 =?

P1V1 = P2V2

10 x 655 = P2 x 13.8

Divide both side by the coefficient P2 i.e 13.8

P2 = (10 x 655) / 13.8

P2 = 474.64mmHg

Therefore, the new pressure will be 474.64mmHg
