A weather balloon has a volume of 100L when it is released from above sea level, where the pressure is 101kPa. What will the balloon's volume when it reaches an altitude where the pressure is 43kPa?
Can someone please help me with this and quick??



Answer :

The volume of the balloon is 234.88L.

What is volume?

Volume can be defined as the capacity of a solid shape.

To calculate the volume of the balloon, we use the formula below.

Formula:

  • PV = P'V'.......... Equation 1

Where:

  • P = Initial pressure of the balloon
  • P' = Final pressure of the balloon
  • V' = Initial volume of the balloon
  • V = Final volume of the balloon

Make V' the subject of the equation

  • V' = PV/P'................. Equation 2

From the question,

Given:

  • P = 101 kPa
  • V = 100 L
  • P' = 43kPa

Substitute these values into equation 2

  • V' = 101×100/43
  • V' = 234.88 L

Hence, The volume of the balloon is 234.88L.
