QUESTION:
A gas-filled balloon having a volume of 2.50 L at 1.2 atm and 25°C is allowed to rise to the stratosphere (about 30 km above the surface of Earth), where the temperature and pressure are -23°C and \(3.00 \times 10^{-3}\) atm, respectively. Calculate the final volume of the balloon.
ANSWER:Step 1 of 2
The goal of the problem is to calculate the final volume of the balloon.
Given:
Initial Conditions:
\(P_1\) = 1.2 atm
\(V_1\) = 2.50 L
\(T_1\) = 25°C = (25 + 273)K = 298 K
Final Conditions:
\(P_2\) = 3.00 × \(10^{-3}\) atm
\(V_2\) = ?
\(T_2\) = -23°C = (-23 + 273)K = 250 K
