Homework Statement


A balloon contains 6000m^3 of helium at 28 degrees C. and 99kPa absolute. Just before launch determine the mass of the balloon.


Homework Equations



Determine the mass of the balloon.


The Attempt at a Solution



I think you might have to use PV=mRT but I am not sure about how you would get R really. Any thoughts? Is that the right equation to use here?
