Question

a balloon containing helium gas has a mass of 3.43 g. what is the volume of the balloon? use the density of helium gas at standard temperature and pressure, 0.179 gl.

Answer 1

Answer: 19.16 liters.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Mass of the balloon (m) = 3.43 g

Density of helium gas (ρ) = 0.179 g/L

To find the volume (V) of the balloon, we'll use the formula:

V = m / ρ

Plugging in the values:

V = 3.43 g / 0.179 g/L

V ≈ 19.16 L

Answer 2

To find the volume of the balloon, we can use the formula:

Volume = Mass / Density

Given:

Mass of the balloon = 3.43 g

The density of helium gas at standard temperature and pressure = 0.179 g/L

Converting the density from grams per liter to grams per milliliter (g/mL) for consistency:

0.179 g/L = 0.179 g/mL

Now we can calculate the volume:

Volume = Mass / Density

Volume = 3.43 g / 0.179 g/mL

Dividing 3.43 g by 0.179 g/mL, we get:

Volume = 19.16 mL

Therefore, the volume of the balloon is 19.16 mL.
