Chapter 5, Problem 43E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The bursting of Helium balloon should be explained, when it is when it is released at $\text{500 mm Hg}$ atmospheric pressure.

Concept introduction:

Boyle’s law states that the volume of a sample of a gas at constant temperature is inversely proportional to pressure.

$\begin{array}{l}\text{V=}{\text{k}}_{\text{1}}\frac{\text{1}}{\text{P}}\text{(or)}\\ \\ {\text{P}}_{\text{1}}{\text{V}}_{\text{1}}{\text{= P}}_{\text{2}}{\text{V}}_{\text{2}}\left(\text{at constant Temperature}\right)\end{array}$

To determine:

The volume of Helium balloon when it is released at $\text{500 mm Hg}$ atmospheric pressure.
