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.

Explain the different principles that allow roller coasters to rip and roar around the tracks. In your response, include how ene
Jlenok [28]

Answer:

In the roller coasters the potential energy that is given is the gravitational potential energy, which this energy increases its value as the object moves away from the earth, that is to say, the more height the roller coaster acquires the more gravitational potential energy it will have, and Said train where people usually get on the roller coaster will descend or descend with greater acceleration.

This gravitational potential energy once the mountain begins to descend or descend is converted into kinetic energy

Explanation:

This that we wrote above is considering that the roller coaster does not have curved routes but rectilinear, in the case that it had curved routes, a force would be added in addition to those written that is the centripetal force, it is the same force that appears in the centrifuges or dryers of clothes or the same washing machine. This force, the centripetal force is the force that draws a moving object, in a curvilinear path, towards the center of the curvature.

Answer:

Least common multiple or lowest common denominator (lcd) can be calculated in two way; with the LCM formula calculation of greatest common factor (GCF), or multiplying the prime factors with the highest exponent factor. Least Common Multiple of 2 and 15 with GCF Formula The formula of LCM is LCM (a,b) = (a × b) / GCF (a,b).

Which of the following gases will have the highest velocity at a given temperature? (3 points)
grandymaker [24]
The correct option is C.
Helium gas will have the highest velocity at a given temperature because it has the lowest atomic mass of all the gases given. The atomic mass of gases affect their rate of movement. The lower the atomic mass, the faster the gas molecules moves and the higher the atomic mass, the slower the gas molecules move.
