A balloon starts out with a volume of 1.3 l at 115.3 kpa. if the temperature is held constant, what would the new volume be if the pressure inside the balloon was reduced to 58 kpa?

show all work and include units for each number. use sig fig rounding on your answer.

Respuesta :

The new volume be if the pressure inside the balloon was reduced to 58kpa is 2.58 L.

What is ideal gas equation?

Ideal gas equation PV=nRT gives idea about the behavior of gases at different conditions and for this question the equation becomes:

P₁V₁ = P₂V₂, where

P₁ = initial pressure = 115.3 kpa

V₁ = initial volume = 1.3 L

P₂ = final pressure = 58 kpa

V₂ = final volume = ?

On putting all these values in the above equation, we get

V₂ = (115.3)(1.3) / (58) = 2.58 L

Hence resultant volume of gas is 2.58 L.
