A)3.36 L
B)1.05 L
C)0.952 L
D)0.297 L
E)26.8 L

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Using Boyle's Law: P1V1 = P2V2
Substituting the given values: (2.82 atm) (1.79 L) = (5.30 atm) V2
Solving for V2: V2 = (2.82 atm x 1.79 L) / (5.30 atm) = 0.952 L 
Therefore, the volume of the balloon at 5.30 atm pressure would be 0.952 L. Choice C is the answer.
