Need Help with a Gas Law Problem.?
Hello, I'm looking on how to go about solving this problem.
A 50.00 liter cylinder of helium with an initial pressure of 100.0 atm is used to fill 1.00 L ballons. How many balloons can be filled using this cylinder? (Remember: The final pressure in the cylinder will be 1.00 atm. -- Why?)
This is for some homework I have, I understand how to go about finding amounts, but not a optimization problem like this.
Thanks for the help.

Work out how many litres at 1 atm pressure would be in the cylinder: 50 x 100 = 5,000 litres.
The last 50 litres at 1 atm can't be used, so it will fill 4,950 balloons.
