Homework Statement
4. A small cylinder of helium gas used for filling balloons has a volume of 2.3 L and a pressure of 13,800 kPa at 25oC. How many balloons can you fill if each one has a volume of 1.5 L and a pressure of 1.25 atm at 25oC?
The answer they gave me is 1672.
Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
[tex]P_{1}V_{1}=P_{2}V_{2}[/tex]
Since n, R, T remain constant.
2.3 x 13800 = 1.25 x 101.3 x V
V=250.66...
[tex]\frac{250.66...}{1.5}\approx167.1[/tex]
