P1V1 = P2V2
P1 = 101.325 kPa (sea level pressure = 1 atm = 101.325 kPa).
V1 = 1.375 L
P2 = 10 kPa
Solve for V2.
Check my work.
a balloon with a volume of 1.375 L is released from earths surface at sea level. what will the balloon occuy at an altitude of 20.0km, where the pressure is 10 kpa?
pleasee help!!
show work please

would the answer be in kpa??
Yes. If P1 is in kPa, then P2 will be in kPa. You could have used 1 atmosphere for P1 and converted 10 kPa to atmospheres.
10 kPa x (1 atm/101.325 kPa) = ?? atm.
OR you can calculate from the original to find P2 in kPa, then divide by 101.325 to convert that way. You should get the same answer either way.
10 kPa x (1 atm/101.325 kPa) = ?? atm.
OR you can calculate from the original to find P2 in kPa, then divide by 101.325 to convert that way. You should get the same answer either way.
What is the answer
The answer would be 13.93 Liters you would not put it into kPa.
