Answer:
600 KPa.
Explanation:
From the question given above, the following data were obtained:
Initial volume (V1) = 0.075 m³
Final volume (V2) = 0.45 m³
Final pressure (P2) = 100 KPa
Initial pressure (P1) =?
Temperature = constant
The initial pressure can be obtained by using the Boyle's law equation as shown below:
P1V1 = P2V2
P1 × 0.075 = 100 × 0.45
P1 × 0.075 = 45
Divide both side by 0.075
P1 = 45 / 0.075
P1 = 600 KPa.
Thus, the initial pressure in the balloon is 600 KPa.
