Concept explainers
An inflated balloon has internal pressure
Pressure
Answer to Problem 23A
The pressure
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Initial internal pressure,
Balloon is compressed to half its volume.
Formula Used:
From Boyle’s law, at constant temperature
Where,
Calculation:
Let the final internal pressure be
As, balloon is compressed to half its volume.
So, final volume is
On putting the give values in the formula,
So, the pressure is doubled.
Conclusion:
Therefore, the pressure
