 Sample Problem 1:

You are holidaying at a beach resort which is

at sea level. You buy a party balloon filled
with helium to a volume of 4.5 liters. The
atmospheric pressure is measure at 100 Kpa.
What will be the volume of the balloon if you
were to take it to resort above sea level with
an atmospheric pressure of 50 kpa?
You are holidaying at a beach resort which is at sea level. You buy a party balloon filled with helium to
a volume of 4.5 liters. The atmospheric pressure is measure at 100 Kpa. What will be the volume of the
balloon if you were to take it to resort above sea level with an atmospheric pressure of 150 kpa?

Given: Required: Equation: Solution: Answer:

V1= 4.5L V2 P1 V1=P2 V2

(100kPa)(4.5L) The final

breathing gas while he is underwater. How
much pressure is needed for 6.00 liters of gas
at 1.01 atmospheric pressure to be
compressed in a 3.00-liter cylinder
