A weather balloon is filled with helium that occupies a volume of 5.00 × 10^4 L at 0.995 atm and 32.0°C. After it is released, it rises to a location where the pressure is 0.720 atm and the temperature is -12.0°C. What is the volume of the balloon

The new volume is 5.913*10^4 L

Explanation:

Step 1: Write out the formula to be used:

Using general gas equation;

P1V1 / T1 =P2V2 /T2

V2 = P1V1T2 / P2T1

Step 2: write out the values given and convert to standard unit's where necessary

P1 = 0.995atm

P2 0.720atm

V1 = 5*10^4 L

T1 = 32°C = 32+ 273 = 305K

T2 = -12°C = -12 + 273 = 261K

Step 3: Equate your values and do the calculation:

V2 = 0.995 * 5*10^4 * 261 / 0.720 * 305

V2 = 1298.475 * 10^4 / 219.6

V2 = 5.913 * 10^4 L

So the new volume of the balloon is 5.913*10^4 L

a plasma is a warm ionized gasoline consisting of approximately equal numbers of definitely charged ions and negatively charged electrons. the characteristics of plasmas are notably unique from the ones of ordinary neutral gases in order that plasmas are considered a awesome "fourth kingdom of remember."
