Question

8. A weather balloon is filled with 11.5 L He at sea level where the pressure is 1.00 atm at 20.0 °C. a) Calculate moles of gas in the balloon. R = 0.08206 atm*L/mol*K = 8.3145 kPa*L/mol*K b) The balloon bursts after ascending to a height where the pressure is 26.0 torr and -50.0 °C. Determine the volume (in L) at which the balloon bursts. c) Another weather balloon, under the same initial conditions, has a leak. At the bursting height (where P = 26.0 torr and T = -50.0 °C) the balloon has a total volume of 115 L. How many moles of gas were lost by this balloon?

A weather balloon is filled with 135.0 L of He and launched from sea level (T = 20.0°C, P = 755 torr). The balloon is designed to continue its ascent to an altitude of 30.0 km where it bursts, releasing a package of meteorological instruments that parachute back to Earth. If the atmospheric pressure at 30.0 km is 28.0 torr and the temperature is -35.0 °C, what is the volume of the balloon when it bursts? L

A helium balloon initially has a volume of 22.4 L when the temperature is 25.0 °C and the pressure is 1.000 atm. Assume the balloon is released and rises until it reaches an altitude where the temperature is 10.0 °C and the pressure is 0.600 atm. a. Calculate the final volume of the helium balloon in liters. b. Assume the balloon is made of some material which allows it to expand until 35.0 L and if it exceeds this volume it will break. Do you expect the balloon to break under these new conditions? Briefly explain why or why not. c. In a series of experiments, the US Navy developed an undersea habitat. In one experiment, the mole fraction of the atmosphere in the habitat was: 0.790 He 0.170 N2 0.040 O2 What will be the partial pressure of each in atmospheres when the total pressure is 6.91 atm?

0:00 Hi.
00:07 First question we are to calculate the number of moles in the balloon using the given information here.
00:14 We will use the ideal gas equation pv.
00:17 P is pressure, v, volume, is equivalent to n.
00:20 The number of moles are the ideal gas constant in t, the temperature.
00:24 So rearranging this to solve for n will have pv over rt.
00:28 So let's plug in the given values here.
00:31 Pressure is 1 atm, volume is 11 .5.
00:37 Liters r is 0 .0 8206 this is the ideal gas constant and it would be better if you memorize this as well temperature is 20 this is in degrees celsius so convert to kelvin by adding to 173 .15 now cancel some units you can cancel atm liters kelvin and our remaining unit is moles because we are solving for n so solving for this 1 times 11 .5 divided by 0 .08206 times 20 plus 273 .15.
01:17 This is 0 .47805.
01:22 This is moles.
01:25 Let's write our answer in three significant figures, 0 .478 moles.
01:33 And then we are to determine the volume of the balloon using the new volume of pressure and the temperature, we can use the combined gas law equation, p1, v1 over t1 is equivalent to p2 v2 over t2.
01:57 So we'll solve for v2, we'll have b1, b1, t2 over p2t1...
