A balloon is inflated with 2.42 L of helium at a temperature of 27 degrees celsius. Later, the volume of the balloon has changed to 2.37 L at a temperature of 19 degrees celsius and a pressure of 99.7 kPa. What was the pressure when the balloon was inflated?

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, we use the combined law of gases which helps us to understand the changing pressure-volume-temperature behavior as shown below:

In this case, we are asked to compute the initial pressure before the ballon inflation, considering we must use absolute temperature units, therefore:

Best regards.

Pressure when the balloon was inflated is 100kPa

Explanation:

It is possible to find the pressure of a gas in a state using combined gas law:

P₁V₁/T₁ = P₂V₂/T₂

Where P is pressure, V is volume and T is absolute temperature (°C+273.15) of 1, initial state, and 2, final state.

Replacing:

P₁2.42L/(27°C+273.15) = 99.7kPa*2.37L/(19°C+273.15)

P₁ = 100kPa

Pressure when the balloon was inflated is 100kPa

its first and third is your answer i did the qustion the fourth isnt right

i think   the answer is c hope i'm right
