Aballoon was partially filled with helium gas at room temperature. it occupied 4.0 liters of volume at 700.0 mmhg atmospheric pressure. when the balloon was released, it traveled upward until it burst at 99 mmhg atmospheric pressure. (neglect any force exerted to stretch the rubber balloon.) what was the volume of the balloon when it burst? l

28.28 L.

Explanation:

where, P is the pressure of the gas in atm.

V is the volume of the gas in L.

n is the no. of moles of the gas in mol.

R is the general gas constant,

T is the temperature of the gas in K.

P₁V₁ = P₂V₂

P₁ = 700.0 mm Hg, V₁ = 4.0 L.

at burst: P₂ = 99.0 mm Hg, V₂ = ??? L.

∴ V₂ = P₁V₁/P₂ = (700.0 mm Hg)(4.0 L)/(99.0 mm Hg) = 28.28 L.

explanation:

two years ago, when picking flowers in the mountains back of yosemite valley, i found a book. it was blotted and storm-beaten; all of its outer pages were mealy and crumbly. the paper seemed to dissolve like the snow beneath which it had been buried, however; many of the inner pages were well preserved. and although all were more or less stained and torn, whole chapters were easily readable. this is the condition of the great open book of yosemite glaciers today; its granite pages have been torn and blurred by the same storms that wasted the castaway book.
