a balloon is filled with 80.5L of helium at sea level. if the balloon rises to a height of the atmosphere where the pressure is .55atm what will the new volume of the balloon be?
Assuming the temperature is the same (which it won't be in reality!) then pressure*volume is constant, so:
80.5*1 = V*0.55 (Taking pressure at sea level as 1 atm)
V = 80.5/0.55 L
V=80.50.55⇒V=146.3636363636363636 L
V ≈ 146.4L
