You have a balloon filled with 5 mL of air at a pressure of 5 atm. You squeeze the
balloon, changing the volume to 2.5 mL.
How will the pressure change?
Increase or Decrease
What will the new pressure be?
atm

Answer:

Explanation:

Givens

P1 = 5 atm

V1 = 5 mL

P2 = ?

V2 = 2.5 mL

Formula

P1 * V1 = P2 * V2

Solution

5 atm * 5mL = 2.5 mL * P2

25 = 2.5 * P2

P2 = 25/2.5

P2 = 10 atm

The pressure increases

The volume decreases

P2 = 10 atm.
