A hot air balloon is filled to a volume of 44.5 L at 758 torr.What will be the volume of the balloon if the pressure decreases to 748 torr under constant temperature?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

According to Boyle's Law (P1V1 = P2V2), if the temperature is constant, the product of the initial pressure and volume is equal to the product of the final pressure and volume. Solving for V2 gives V2 = (P1V1)/P2 = (758 torr * 44.5 L) / 748 torr = 45.1 L.
