Answer:
A. The balloons will increase to twice their original volume.
Explanation:
Boyle's law states that the pressure exerted on a gas is inversely proportional to the volume occupied by the gas at constant temperature. That is:
P ∝ 1/V
P = k/V
PV = k (constant)
P = pressure, V = volume.
Let the initial pressure of the balloon be P, i.e. 
, initial volume be V, i.e. 
. The pressure is then halved, i.e. 
Therefore the balloon volume will increase to twice their original volume.
Answer:
anawer is none of the above
The question is incomplete.
You need two additional data:
1) the original volume
2) what solution you added to change the volume.
This is a molarity problem, so remember molarity definition and formula:
M = n / V in liters: number of moles per liter of solution
To give you the key to answer this kind of questions, supppose the original volumen was 1 ml and that you added only water (solvent).
The original solution was:
V= 1 ml
M = 0.2 M
Using the formula for molarity, M = n / V
n = M×V = 0.2 M × (1 / 10000)l = 0.0002 moles
For the final solution:
n = 0.0002 moles
M = 0.04
From M = n / V ⇒ V = n / M = 0.002 moles / 0.04 M = 0.05 l
Change to ml ⇒ 0.05 l × 1000 ml / l = 50 ml. This would be the answer for the hypothetical problem that I assumed for you.
I hope this gives you all the cues you need to answer similar problems about molarity.
