What is the volume of a balloon of gas at 842 mm hg and -23° c, if its volume is 915 ml at a pressure of 1,170 mm hg and a temperature of 24°c?

             V₂  =  1070 mL or 1.07 L

Solution:

Data Given;
                  P₁  =  1170 mmHg

                  V₁  =  915 mL

                  T₁  =  24 °C  +  273 K  =  297 K

                  P₂  =  842 mmHg

                  V₂  =  ?

                  T₂  =  - 23 °C  +  273 K  =  250 K

According to Ideal gas equation,

                       P₁ V₁ / T₁  =  P₂ V₂ / T₂

Solving for V₂,

                       V₂  =  P₁ V₁ T₂ / P₂ T₁

Putting Values,

                       V₂  = (1170 mmHg × 915 mL × 250 K) ÷ (842 mmHg × 297 K)

                       V₂  =  1070 mL or 1.07 L

North atlantic current or north atlantic drift is the answer
