A sample of an ideal gas at 1.00 atm and a volume of 1.89 L was placed in a weighted balloon and dropped into the ocean. As the sample descended, the water pressure compressed the balloon and reduced its volume. When the pressure had increased to 35.0 atm, what was the volume of the sample? Assume that the temperature was held constant.

Question
A sample of an ideal gas at 1.00 atm and a volume of 1.89 L was placed in a weighted balloon and dropped into the ocean. As the sample descended, the water pressure compressed the balloon and reduced its volume. When the pressure had increased to 35.0 atm, what was the volume of the sample? Assume that the temperature was held constant.
Expert Solution

Step 1
We have to use the Boyle's law in order to calculate the final volume as it is given temperature is constant.
P1V1=P2V2
P1= initial pressure
P2=Final pressure
V1= Initial volume
V2=final volume
Step by step
