How many balloons can a tank of helium fill

Asked by maham237 @ in Chemistry viewed by 313 People

Think about a small helium tank the can fill 50 balloons. What must be true about the helium in the tank compared to the helium in the balloons?Compare Charles' Law to Boyle's law. Which one has a direct relationship, which one has an inverse or indirect relationship?

Answered by maham237 @


I know the answer your looking for is Helium is a gas, which means it can be compressed.The helium tanks are under pressure, and when you open the valve to fill the balloons most of the pressure is relieved. It has to do with the boyle's law: as pressure increases, volume decreases and vice versa (for gasses). Just think about taking the molecules of the gas , which are really far apart and zipping around really fast, and then compressing it into a really small volume so the molecules are closer together.
Hope this helps have a nice day :)
