One balloon was only partly filled when put on the plane. During the flight, the balloon volume

increased from 7 L at 1.0 atm to 9 L. What was the cabin pressure on the airplane during the flight?

(Assume the balloon stretched very easily and the temperature was constant.)

P₂ = 0.8 atm

Explanation:

Given dа ta:

Initial pressure = 1 atm

Initial volume = 7 L

Final volume = 9 L

Final pressure = ?

Solution:

P₁V₁ = P₂V₂

P₁ = Initial pressure

V₁ = Initial volume

P₂ = Final pressure

V₂ = Final volume

Now we will put the vales in formula.

P₁V₁ = P₂V₂

P₂ = P₁V₁ / V₂

P₂ = 1 atm * 7 L / 9 L

P₂ = 7 atm. L / 9 L

P₂ = 0.8 atm
