a weather balloon is inflated to a volume of 28.5 L at a pressure of 748 mmHg and a temperature of 28.0 degrees C. The balloon r

ises in the atmosphere to an altitude of 25,000 feet, where the pressure is 385 mmHg and the temperature is -15.0 degrees C. Assuming the balloon can freely expand, calculate the volume of the balloon at this altitude.

We are given with the conditions of the weather balloon and required to determine the volume of the balloon when the altitude is raised to 25,000 feet. We determine the number of moles through ideal gas law PV = nRT. Plugging to this equation, the number of moles is 1.1351 moles. We substitute this with another set of conditions, volume is 47.46 liters.

Answer:

The volume of the balloon at this altitude is 47.46 Liters.

Explanation:

Initial pressure of the gas = P_1=748 mmHg

Initial volume of balloon = V_1=28.5 L

Initial temperature of the gas in the balloon = T_1=28^oC=301.15 K

Moles of gas in balloon = n

P_1V_1=nRT_1...[1]

Moles of gas will remain the same when the temperature pressure and volume conditions are altered.

Final pressure of the gas at given altitude= P_2=385 mmHg

Final volume of balloon at given altitude = V_2=?

Final temperature of the gas in the balloon  at given altitude = T_2=-15^oC=258.15 K

P_2V_2=nRT_2...[2]

From [1] and [2]

\frac{P_1V_1}{T_1}=\frac{P_2V_2}{T_2}

V_2=\frac{P_1V_1\times T_2}{T_1\times P_2}

=\frac{748 mmHg\times 28.5L\times 258.15 K}{301.15 K\times 385 mmHg}=47.46 L

The volume of the balloon at this altitude is 47.46 Liters.

Solids have:<br> fixed shape<br> O A and B<br> fixed size<br> neither A nor B
Lemur [1.5K]

<u>Answer:</u>

<em>B. A and B</em>

<em></em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

1. Solids have a definite volume, definite size and definite shape

2. The particles present in a solid are very closely packed since the intermolecular forces between them are very strong. The molecules do not move apart.

3. Melting point is the temperature at which solid changes into a liquid.

4. When a solid is heated to the melting point the intermolecular forces are overcome by the energy and the molecules present in it moves from its fixed position to take its liquid state which is called as melting.

The state of matter that has molecules with the least random molecular arrangement:

Gas. Molecules in gas are able to move and vibrate around each other more freely than the molecules in liquids and/or solids due to the great amount of space in between them. Hope this helps! :)

Answer:

The physical and chemical properties of the product do not match the properties of the reactant.

Explanation:

Chemical change:

The changes, that occur due to change in the composition of a substance and result in a different compound is known as chemical change.

These changes are irreversible

These changes occur due to chemical reactions

These may not be observed with naked eye

Example:

Combustion of fuel or wood: that oil or wood convert into energy, CO2 and ash in case of wood

Boiling of egg: that change the chemical composition of protein in the egg .

The reaction of Hydrogen and oxygen:

H 2 (g)  + O 2  (g) -------------------------------------> 2H 2O  (l)

The reaction between sugar and oxygen form a product which is different from the reactant that's why it indicate the occurrence of chemical reaction.

While in case of physical changes just state of matter are changed. Properties remain same.
