pressure, what is the volume of the balloon if five more same-sized breaths are added to the
balloon?

29. A cylinder with a movable piston contains 2.00 g of helium, He, at room temperature. More helium
was added to the cylinder and the volume was adjusted so that the gas pressure remained the
same. How many grams of helium were added to the cylinder if the volume was changed from 2.00
L to 2.70 L? (The temperature was held constant.)
