A balloon is filled with hydrogen at room temperature. It will burst if pressure exceeds 0.2 bar, If at 1 bar pressure the gas occupies 2.27 L volume, upto what volume can the balloon be expanded?

According to Boyle' Law `p_1V_1=p_2V_2`
if `p_1` is 1 bar `V_1` will be 2.27 L
if `P_2=0.2` bar then, `V_2=(p_1V_1)/p_2`
`implies V_2=( 1 b ar times 2.27 L)/(0.2 B ar)=11.35L`
Since balloon bursts ar 0.2 bar pressure, the volume of balloon should be less than 11.35 L.

The essential conditions for liquefaction of gases were discovered by Andrews in 1869 as a result of his study of pressure-volume-temperature relationship for CO_(2) . It was found that above a certain temperature, it was impossible to liquefy a gas whatever the pressure was applied. The temperature below which the gas can be liquefied by the application of pressure alone is called critical temperature (Tc). The pressure required to liquefy a gas at this temperature is called the critical pressure (Pc). The volume occupied by one mole of the substance at the critical temperature and pressure is called critical volume. Critical constants are related with van der waals' constant as follows: V_( c) = 3b, P_( c) =a/(27b^(2)), T_( c) =(8a)/(27 Rb) The values of critical volumes of four gases A, B, C and D are 0.025L, 0.312L, 0.245L and 0.432L respectively. The gas with larger molecular diameter will be :
