A balloon that contains 1.50 L of air at 1.00 atm is taken underwater to a depth at which the
pressure is 3.00 atm. Calculate the new volume of the balloon. Assume that the temperature
remains constant.

The new volume of the balloon assuming the temperature remains constant is 0.5 L.

To calculate the new volume of the balloon, we apply Boyle's law

What is Boyle's Law?

Boyle's law state that the volume of a fixed mass gas is inversly proportional to its pressure at constant temperature.

Formula:

  • PV = P'V'............... Equation 1

Where:

  • P = Initial pressure of the balloon
  • V = Initial volume of the balloon
  • P' = Final pressure 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 = 1 atm
  • V = 1.5 L
  • P' = 3 atm

Substitute these values into equaion 2

  • V' = (1×1.5)/3
  • V' = 0.5 L

Hence, The new volume of the balloon assuming the temperature remains constant is 0.5 L.
