Question

Your spaceship has docked at a space station above Mars. The temperature inside the space station is a carefully controlled 24 ∘C at a pressure of 745 mmHg. A balloon with a volume of 414 mL drifts into the airlock where the temperature is -95 ∘C and the pressure is 0.115 atm.

Answer 1

P(1) = 745mm
P(2) = 0.115atm(760mm/atm)= 87.4mm
V(1) = 414ml
V(2) = ?
T(1) = 24C = 297K
T(2) = -95C = 178K

(PV/T)1 = (PV/T)2
Substitute above data into equation and solve for V(2).

Answer 2

76.7Ml
