Question

A balloon filled with air and having no leak initially has a volume of 28.7 L, a pressure of 762 torr, and a temperature of 274 K. What is the final volume in L, if the final pressure is 430 torr and the final temperature is 252 K?

 
Expert Solution
Step 1: Consider the given information:

The initial volume balloon open parentheses straight V subscript 1 close parentheses = 28.7 L

The initial pressure of balloon open parentheses straight P subscript 1 close parentheses = 762 torr 

The initial temperature of the balloon open parentheses straight T subscript 1 close parentheses = 274 K

The final volume of the balloon open parentheses straight V subscript 2 close parentheses = ?

The final pressure of the balloon open parentheses straight P subscript 2 close parentheses = 430 torr

The final temperature of the balloon open parentheses straight T subscript 2 close parentheses = 252 K
