A weather balloon is partially inflated with helium gas to a volume of 2.0 m³. The pressure was measured at 101 kPa and the temperature at 27 °C. What will be the new volume if the balloon is when it moves upwards to where the atmospheric pressure is 40 kPa and the temperature is at 10 °C?​

Answer:

4.7 m³

Explanation:

We'll use the gas law P1 • V1 / T1 = P2 • V2 / T2

* Givens :

P1 = 101 kPa , V1 = 2 m³ , T1 = 300.15 K , P2 = 40 kPa , T2 = 283.15 K

( We must always convert the temperature unit to Kelvin "K")

* What we want to find :

V2 = ?

* Solution :

101 × 2 / 300.15 = 40 × V2 / 283.15

V2 × 40 / 283.15 ≈ 0.67

V2 = 0.67 × 283.15 / 40

V2 ≈ 4.7 m³
