If each balloon is filled with carbon dioxide gas at 20 degrees C and 1 atmosphere, calculate the mass and the number of moles of carbon dioxide in each balloon at maximum inflation. Use the ideal gas law in your calculation. The volume of the balloon at maximum inflation is 55cm. Thank you for helping find the answer. Please help.

Answer 1

Use PV = nRT
You know P (1 atm), v(55 cm but change that to L), n (solve for this), R (0.08206 L*atm/mol*K), T (20 C but change that to kelvin).
n = number of mols.
grams CO2 = mols x molar mass CO2

T(kelvin) = celsius T + 273
