A25.5 liter balloon holding 3.5 moles of carbon dioxide leaks. if we are able to determine that 1.9 moles of carbon dioxide escaped before the container could be sealed, what is the new volume of the container?

11.66 L.

Explanation:

We can use the general law of ideal gas: PV = nRT.

where, P is the pressure of the gas in atm.

V is the volume of the gas in L.

n is the no. of moles of the gas in mol.

R is the general gas constant,

T is the temperature of the gas in K.

If P and T are constant, and have different values of n and V:

(V₁n₂) = (V₂n₁).

V₁ = 25.5 L, n₁ = 3.5 mol.

V₂ = ??? L, n₂ = 3.5 mol - 1.9 mol = 1.6 mol.

∴ V₂ = (V₁n₂)/(n₁) = (25.5 L)(1.6 mol)/(3.5 mol) = 11.66 L.

Mass is the amount of matter in an object.  weight is the measurement of the pull of gravity on an object.  say for example, you travel to the moon which has a different gravitational field compared to the gravitational field of earth. (gravitational fields: earth = 1, moon = 0.165)  now when you are on the moon, the pull of gravity on you is different than on the earth. and as weight is the measurement of the pull of gravity on an object, that means yes, your weight can and will change on the moon.  however, on the moon, on earth or even on jupiter, the amount of mass inside of you remains the same. meaning your physical mass remains constant.  in conclusion it is possible for your weight to change as your mass remains constant.
