Question
A sample of an ideal gas at 1.00 bar and a volume of 1.25 L was placed in a weighted balloon and dropped into the ocean. As the sample descended, the water pressure compressed the balloon and reduced its volume. When the pressure had increased to 40.0 bar, what was the volume of the sample? Assume the temp was held constant. A sample of an ideal gas at 1.00 bar and a volume of 1.25 L was placed in a weighted balloon and dropped into the ocean. As the sample descended, the water pressure compressed the balloon and reduced its volume. When the pressure had increased to 40.0 bar, what was the volume of the sample? Assume the temp was held constant.Explanation / Answer
at constant T
P1V1 = P2V2
V2 = FINAL Volume = 1*1.25/40 = 0.3125 L
