A balloon is filled with hydrogen at room temperature. It will burst if pressure exceeds 0.2 bar. If at 1 bar pressure the gas occupies 2.27 L volume,upto what volume can the balloon be expanded ?

Answer»

<P>

Solution :At PRESSURE `P_(1)`=1 bar,volume `V_(1)`=2.27 L
Atpressure `P_(2)=0.2` bar, volume `V_(2)`=To be CALCULATED
As temperature remains constants at room temperature, applying Boyle's law, `P_(1)V_(1)=P_(2)V_(2)`
(1 bar)(2.27 L)=(0.2 bar)`V_(2)`or`V_(2)=(2.27)/(0.2)L=11.35L`
Thus, the balloon can be EXPANDED upto 11.35 L. Beyond this volume it will burst.
