A balloon filled with CO2 travels from Flag to Phoenix. If the balloon started at 1.49 atm and went to 1.2 atm, what is the new volume if the balloon has an initial volume of 0.460 L?

Answer 1

P1 = 1.49 atm

P2 = 1.2 atm

V2 = ?

V1 = 0.460 L

Using Boyles Law

P1V1 = P2V2

(1.49)(0.460) = (1.2)(V2)

V2 = 0.571 L
