Question
A chemistry student flies to Florida for spring break. He decides to carry a balloon filled with 0.345 L of air and observe what happens to the volume of the balloon as the altitude increases. The air pressure on the ground is 765 torr. The volume of the balloon increases to 1.23L at maximum altitude. What is the pressure in the airplane at maximum altitude?
Expert Solution
Step 1

Given:           Initial volume, V1 = 0.345 L 
                     Initial pressure, P1 = 765 torr
                     Final volume = V2 = 1.23 L
 Required :   Final Pressure,  P2  = ?
