Kinetic particle model of matter — practice question

Fig. 6.1 presents a child letting go of a helium-filled balloon. The helium pressure inside the balloon is what keeps it expanded.
(a)[3]

Explain how the helium particles create this pressure.

(b(i))[1]

State an equation linking the helium volume with its pressure.

(b(ii)-1)[2]

Using Fig. 6.2, find the pressure at ground level. Include the unit.

(b(ii)-2)[2]

Using Fig. 6.2, find the height where the helium in the balloon has doubled in volume compared with ground level.
