To determine the size of a tank required to contain the same amount of helium at atmospheric pressure (1 atm), we can use the ideal gas law, which is expressed as:
\[ PV = nRT \]
Where:
- \( P \) = pressure (in atmospheres)
- \( V \) = volume (in liters)
- \( n \) = number of moles of gas
- \( R \) = ideal gas constant (0.0821 L·atm/(K·mol))
- \( T \) = temperature (in Kelvin)
To provide you with the correct answer, I will need additional information:
- The amount of helium in moles or the amount of helium you are currently using (in a different pressure or conditions).
- The temperature at which you want to conduct this calculation.
Once you provide that information, I can help you calculate the volume the tank needs to be.
