2. Boyle's law. Let's return our balloon to the room again, where it's 27°C. Now imagine that you take an empty 1.00L 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? (2.5 pts/ 0.5pt 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.
(c) Calculate the new pressure (in inHg) using the ideal gas law or the equation written from your answer in (b).
(d) Now explain the change in pressure based on the behavior of the gas molecules.
(e) Fill in the blank
Boyle's law (1662): At constant temperature, the volume of a given amount of a gas is _________________________ to the pressure exerted on it.
