You fill a balloon with 2.50 moles of gas at 25°C at a pressure of 1.49 atm. What is the volume of the balloon?

Verified Answer :

You need to use the ideal gas equation: 

\(PV = nRT\)

P is pressure (in atm or bar)

V is volume (in L)

n is the number of moles (in mol)
 
R is an experimentally determined ratio of about 0.82 

T is the temperature (in Kelvin)

Note: For all gases, you need to convert Celsius or Fahrenheit to Kelvin.

\(25C + 273.15 = 298.15K\)

Get V alone.

\(V = \frac{nRT}{P}\)

Plug in the values you have.

\(V = \frac{2.50 mol * 0.82 * 298.15 K}{1.49 atm}\)

you get:

\(V = 611.2075L\)

A fun fact: the gas used to fill up a balloon is Helium.
