    A balloon filled with Helium (M=4g/mol) has diameter of .5m at sea level. For this problem, we'll assume a balloon can expand or contract when the outside pressure decreases or increases, so that internal pressure is always equal to the outside pressure. A) when the balloon is immersed in water to a depth of 1.5m, what is the new diameter? B) If the same balloon is released, and floats up to an elevation of 1500m (rising through air with constant...
