(b) The pressure of the helium in the balloon is 100 000 Pa. 

The volume of the balloon is 0.030 m3 . 

The balloon is compressed at a constant temperature causing the volume to decrease to 0.025 m3 . 

No helium leaves the balloon. 

Calculate the new pressure in the balloon.

    pressure × volume = constant
    100 000 × 0.030 = 3000
    p × 0.025 = 3000
    p = 3000 ÷ 0.025
    p = 120 000 Pa

  1. pressure × volume = constant
    100 000 × 0.030 = 3000
    p × 0.025 = 3000
    p = 3000 ÷ 0.025
    p = 120 000 Pa
