Lisa needs to buy a helium tank to fill up all the balloons. If the helium must be compressed from an original volume of 27.0L at 14.7 psi, down to a volume of 3.00L, what would be the final pressure of the helium?

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case we use the Boyle's law which allows us to understand the volume-pressure behavior as an inversely proportional relationship:

Whereas we solve for as the required final pressure:

Best regards.

The final pressure of the helium would be 132.2 psi or 9.0 atm

Explanation:

Step 1:data given

The original volume of the balloon = 27.0 L

The original pressure = 14.7 psi = 1.00 atm

The volume will be reduced to 3.00 L

Step 2: Calculate the pressure

P1*V1 = P2¨V2

⇒with P1 = The original pressure = 14.7 psi = 1.00 atm

⇒with V1 = The original volume of the balloon = 27.0 L

⇒with P2 = the new pressure = TO BE DETERMINED

⇒with V2 = the reduced volume = 3.00 L

14.7 psi * 27.0 L = P2 * 3.00 L

P2 = (14.7 psi * 27.0 L) / 3.00 L

P2 = 132.3 psi

OR

1 atm * 27.0 L = P2 * 3.00 L

P2 = (27.0 atm*L ) / 3.00 L

P2 = 9.0 atm

The final pressure of the helium would be 132.2 psi or 9.0 atm

explanation:

the largest database of organic compounds lists about 10 million substances, which include compounds originating from living organisms and those synthesized by chemists. the number of potential organic compounds has been estimated at 1060—an astronomically high number. the existence of so many organic molecules is a consequence of the ability of carbon atoms to form up to four strong bonds to other carbon atoms, resulting in chains and rings of many different sizes, shapes, and complexities. the simplest organic compounds contain only the elements carbon and hydrogen, and are called hydrocarbons. even though they are composed of only two types of atoms, there is a wide variety of hydrocarbons because they may consist of varying lengths of chains, branched chains, and rings of carbon atoms, or combinations of these structures. in addition, hydrocarbons may differ in the types of carbon-carbon bonds present in their molecules. many hydrocarbons are found in plants, animals, and their fossils; other hydrocarbons have been prepared in the laboratory. we use hydrocarbons every day, mainly as fuels, such as natural gas, acetylene, propane, butane, and the principal components of gasoline, diesel fuel, and heating oil. the familiar plastics polyethylene, polypropylene, and polystyrene are also hydrocarbons. we can distinguish several types of hydrocarbons by differences in the bonding between carbon atoms. this leads to differences in geometries and in the hybridization of the carbon orbitals.
