As a birthday balloon is filled with helium, the amount of helium increases from 0.5 moles of helium to 5.5 moles of helium. If the initial volume of the balloon is 2.5 mL, what is the final volume? Your solution must include a step-by-step solution with units included throughout.

00:01 So for this question, we'll use the formula of the initial volume equals the spirometer volume plus the volume of frc times the final percentage volume.
00:25 So to find that initial, we take 5 times 0 .1, and then that would equal 5 plus b times when we'll look.
00:39 Change this to 0 .6 because it's percentage, so we need to switch it to a decimal.
00:45 So this would be 0 .5 equals 5 plus v, plus 0 .6...
