I have added 15 L of air to a balloon at sea level (1.0 atm). If I take the
balloon with me to Denver, where the air pressure is 0.85 atm, what will
the new volume of the balloon be?

17.65 L

Explanation:

- Use Boyle's Law

- Rearrange formula (V2 = V1P1/P2)

- Put in the values and solve

- Hope this helped! Let me know if you need a further explanation.

Hello!

I have added 15 L of air to a balloon at sea level (1.0 atm). If I take the  balloon with me to Denver, where the air pressure is 0.85 atm, what will  the new volume of the balloon be?

V1 (initial volume) = 15 L

P1 (initial pressure) = 1.0 atm

P2 (final pressure) = 0.85 atm

V2 (final volume) = ? (in ml)
