A balloon filled with 2.00 L of helium initially at 1.25 atm of pressure rises into the atmosphere. When the surrounding pressure reaches 330. mmHg, the balloon will burst. If 1 atm = 760. mmHg, what volume will the balloon occupy in the instant before it bursts?
Initial final
V1 = 2L V2 =
P1 = 1.25atm P2 = 300/760 = 0.3947atm
P1V1 = P2V2
V2 = P1V1/P2
= 1.25*2/0.3947 = 6.34L
The volume of balloon = 6.34L
