Type the correct answer in the box. Express your answer to three significant figures. A balloon is filled with 0.250 mole of air at 35°C. If the volume of the balloon is 6.23 liters, what is the absolute pressure of the air in the balloon?

102.807 kPa

Explanation:

There are some assumptions to be made in the answer. The air inside the balloon acts as an ideal gas at a given temperature conditions.

Using the combined ideal gas equation.

P= absolute pressure of the air inside the balloon.

V= volume of air inside the balloon (6.23 L= 6.23 * 10⁻³ m³)

n= moles of gas(air). (0.250 mol)

R= Universal gas constant ( 8.314 J / mol·K)

T= Temperature in Kelvin

T= 35 + 273.15 = 308.15 K

P= 102.807 * 10³ Pa

P= 102.807 kPa
