A weather balloon is filled with 140.0 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 -48.0 °C, what is the volume of the balloon when it bursts?

Step 1
Given: T1 = 20.0 °C = 20.0 + 273.15 = 293.15 K T2 = -48.0 °C = -48.0 + 273.15 = 225.15 K Show more…

A weather balloon with a volume of 301 L is launched at 20.0°C at sea level, where the atmospheric pressure is 1.00 atm. The balloon rises to an altitude of 2.00 × 104 m, where atmospheric pressure is 63.0 mmHg and the temperature is 210.0 K. What is the volume of the balloon at 2.00 × 104 m?

A weather balloon with a volume of 231 L is launched at 20.0°C at sea level, where the atmospheric pressure is 1.00 atm. The balloon rises to an altitude of 2.00 × 104 m, where atmospheric pressure is 57.0 mmHg and the temperature is 210.0 K. What is the volume of the balloon at 2.00 × 104 m?

A weather balloon is inflated to a volume of 28.5 $\mathrm{L}$ at a pressure of 748 $\mathrm{mm} \mathrm{Hg}$ and a temperature of $28.0^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ .The balloon rises in the atmosphere to an altitude of approximately $25,000$ feet, where the pressure is 385 $\mathrm{mm} \mathrm{Hg}$ and the temperature is $-15.0^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ . Assuming the balloon can freely expand, calculate the volume of the balloon at this altitude.
