Answer:
The pressure of CO2 = 0.48 atm
Explanation:
Step 1: Data given
Kp = 0.23
Step 2: The balanced equation
2NaHCO3(s) ↔ Na2CO3(s) + CO2(g) + H2O(g)
Step 3: Calculate the pressure of CO2
Kp = (p(CO2))*(p(H2O))
For 1 mol CO2 we have 1 mol H2O
x = p(CO2) = p(H2O)
Kp = 0.23 = x*x
x = √0.23
x = 0.48
pCO2 = x atm = 0.48 atm
The pressure of CO2 = 0.48 atm
Answer: Thus the volume of the balloon at this altitude is 419 L
Explanation:
Combined gas law is the combination of Boyle's law, Charles's law and Gay-Lussac's law.
The combined gas equation is,

where,
= initial pressure of gas = 751 mm Hg
= final pressure of gas = 495 mm Hg
= initial volume of gas = 340 L
= final volume of gas = ?
= initial temperature of gas = 
= final temperature of gas = 
Now put all the given values in the above equation, we get:


Thus the volume of the balloon at this altitude is 419 L
