Summary Introduction

To determine:

The volume of balloon that would be under the new conditions, assuming no change in temperature.

Introduction:

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

The volume and pressure at constant temperature is calculated by the formula,

${\text{P}}_{\text{i}}{\text{V}}_{\text{i}}={\text{P}}_{\text{f}}{\text{V}}_{\text{f}}$
