Amickey mouse balloon has a maximum volume of 10.0 liters. a little boy purchased a mickey mouse balloon at disneyland. it had a pressure of 1.25 atm and a volume of 9.00 litters. if the balloon rose to an elevation of 2,000 feet, the pressure inside the balloon dropped to 836 mmhg. did the balloon pop?

The answer to your question is the balloon will pop

Explanation:

Data

Maximum volume = 10 liters

Initial pressure = P1 = 1.25 atm

Initial volume = V1 = 9 liters

Final pressure = 836 mmHg

Final volume = ?

Process

1.- Convert final pressure to atm

                 760 mmHg ---------- 1 atm

                 836 mmHg ----------   x

                  x = (836 x 1) / 760

                  x = 1.1 atm

2.- Use the Boyle's law to solve this problem

                 P1V1 = P2V2

Solve for V2

Substitution

Simplification and result

                        V2 = 10.22 l

Conclusion

The balloon will pop because the final volume is higher than 10 l

we can conclude that the melting point of table salt is above room temperature (it's actually 801 deg c). the melting point of mercury must be below room temperature (- 39 deg c).
