Concept explainers
A party balloon is squeezed to
To show: The pressure in the balloon increased by 1.5 times.
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Balloon is squeezed to 2/3 of its initial volume.
Formula Used:
The Boyle’s law is given as,
Where,
Calculation:
Let the initial pressure and volume of balloon are
As, balloon is squeezed to 2/3 of its initial volume.
So,
Now substituting the values in formula,
Conclusion:
Therefore, it is proved that the pressure in the balloon is increased by 1.5 times as
