Question

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

Step 1

- Initial volume of helium (V1) = 135.0 L - Initial temperature (T1) = 20.0°C = 293.15 K (converted to Kelvin by adding 273.15) - Initial pressure (P1) = 755 torr - Final pressure (P2) = 28.0 torr - Final temperature (T2) = -35.0°C = 238.15 K (converted to Kelvin Show more…
