A balloon contains 3.20 L of helium. The pressure is reduced to 59.0 kPa, and the balloon expands to occupy a volume of 5.50 L. What was the initial pressure exerted on
the balloon?

101.4pKa

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Initial Volume of helium  = 3.20L

Final pressure of helium  = 59kPa

Final volume on helium gas = 5.5L

Unknown:

Initial pressure exerted on the balloon = ?

Solution;

To solve this pressure - volume problem, we simply apply the Boyle's law.

It states that "the volume of a fixed mass gas varies inversely as the pressure changes if the temperature is constant".

  Mathematically;

         P1 V1  = P2 V2

Now, insert parameters and solve;

         P1 x 3.2 = 59 x 5.5

          P1  = 101.4pKa

b.false that your answer

answer: atomic mass was originally used to arrange elements on the periodic table, but is no longer used to organize the modern version.

explanation:

originally atomic mass was used to arrange elements on the periodic table from left to right in a row. each column then shows similar properties of elements of a group.

in modern periodic table, the atoms are arranged in increasing atomic number. as atomic number represents the number of protons in an atom which is unique for every atom.
