Question

Boyle's law. Let's return our balloon to the room again, where it's 26°C. Now imagine that you
take an empty 0.500 L plastic pickle jar and gently push the balloon inside the jar: Now screw
on the lid. What will happen to the pressure inside the balloon when you close the lid? (2 pts/
0.4pt each)
(a) Circle the correct words in the parentheses to complete the following sentence.
The pressure in the balloon will (increase/decrease) (slightly/dramatically). In this
experiment (volume/temperature/amount of gas) (is/are) constant.
(b) Write an equation using the information from (a) that compares the initial state of
the balloon and to its final state. P1V1= P2V2
(c) Calculate the new pressure (in torr) using the ideal gas law or the equation written
from your answer in (b). P=?atm
V1=0.500 L
(d) Now explain the change in pressure based on the behavior of the gas
molecules.
