A balloon filled with 2.00 L of helium initially at 1.85 atm of pressure rises into the atmosphere. When the surrounding pressure reaches 470. mmHg, the balloon will burst. If 1 atm = 760. mmHg, what volume will the balloon occupy in the instant before it bursts?

The volume will the balloon occupy in the instant before it bursts will be 5.98 L.

Initial volume of helium (V1) = 2.00 L

Initial pressure of helium (P1) = 1.85 atm

Final pressure of helium (P2) = 470 mmHg or 0.61842 atm

Final volume of helium (V2) = ?

We will calculate the final volume by using the following equation;

    P1V1 = P2V2

Rearrange it for V2

    V2 = P1V1 / P2

    V2 = (1.85 atm × 2.00 L) / 0.61842 atm

    V2 = 5.98 L

So 5.98 L volume will the balloon occupy in the instant before it bursts.
