Given the following, what would the new volume of the balloon be?

A child has a toy balloon with a volume of 1.80 liters. The temperature of the balloon when it was filled was 20° C and the pressure was 1.00 atm. If the child were to let go of the balloon and it rose 3 km into the sky where the pressure is 0.667 atm and the temperature is -10° C.....

#V_2~=2.5*L#

The combined gas equation holds that for constant #n#:

#(P_1V_1)/T_1 = (P_2V_2)/T_2#

Thus #V_2# #=# #(P_1xxT_2xxV_1)/(P_2xxT_1)# (this clearly has the units of volume.)

#=# #(1*atmxx263*Kxx1.80*L)/(0.667*atmxx293*K)# #=# #??L#

It seems like you haven't provided the details or parameters necessary for me to calculate the new volume of the balloon. Please share the relevant information, such as the initial volume and any changes or factors affecting it, so I can assist you accurately.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
