I need both of these questions answered.
Two identical balloons are filled to the same volume, one with air and one with helium. The next day, the volume of the air-filled balloon has decreased by 4.5 %.
By what percent has the volume of the helium-filled balloon decreased? (Assume that the air is four-fifths nitrogen and one-fifth oxygen, and that the temperature did not change.)
Express your answer using two significant figures.

- An organic chemist isolates a colorless liquid from a petroleum sample. She places the liquid in a pre-weighed flask and puts the flask in boiling water, which vaporizes the liquid and fills the flask with gas. She closes the flask and reweighs it. She obtains the following data: Volume (V) of flask = 196 ml T = 99.1°C P= 751 mmHg mass of flask + gas = 81.5 g mass of flask = 78.3 g Calculate the molar mass (in g/mol) of the liquid.arrow_forwardGaseous NO2 decomposes at 573 K.
