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.

"46.7 g of water at 80.6 oC is added to a calorimeter that contains 45.33 g of water at 40.6 oC. If the final temperature of the

soldier1979 [14.2K]

<u>Answer:</u> The specific heat of calorimeter is 30.68 J/g°C

<u>Explanation:</u>

When hot water is added to the calorimeter, the amount of heat released by the hot water will be equal to the amount of heat absorbed by cold water and calorimeter.

$Heat_{\text{absorbed}}=Heat_{\text{released}}$

The equation used to calculate heat released or absorbed follows:

$Q=m\times c\times \Delta T=m\times c\times (T_{final}-T_{initial})$

$m_1\times c_1\times (T_{final}-T_1)=-[(m_2\times c_2)+c_3](T_{final}-T_2)$ ......(1)

where,

q = heat absorbed or released

$m_1$ = mass of hot water = 46.7 g

$m_2$ = mass of cold water = 45.33 g

$T_{final}$ = final temperature = 59.4°C

$T_1$ = initial temperature of hot water = 80.6°C

$T_2$ = initial temperature of cold water = 40.6°C

$c_1$ = specific heat of hot water = 4.184 J/g°C

$c_2$ = specific heat of cold water = 4.184 J/g°C

$c_3$ = specific heat of calorimeter = ? J/g°C

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$46.7\times 4.184\times (59.4-80.6)=-[(45.33\times 4.184)+c_3](59.4-40.6)$

$c_3=30.68J/g^oC$

Hence, the specific heat of calorimeter is 30.68 J/g°C

What does ph measure? 6. msg behaves as a buffer. what is a buffer? 7. if we are interested in understanding how msg behaves as

Ket [755]

1. Answer;

- pH of a solution is the measures of molar concentration of hydrogen ions in a solution.

Explanation;

-pH is a measure of how acidic/basic a substance is. The range goes from 0 - 14, with 7 being neutral. pHs of less than 7 indicate acidity, whereas a pH of greater than 7 indicates a base. pH is really a measure of the relative amount of free hydrogen and hydroxyl ions in a substance.

-The pH value states the relative quantity of hydrogen ions (H+) contained in a solution. The greater the concentration of H+ the more acidic the solution and the lower the pH.

2. Answer;

Buffer is a substance that minimizes change in concentrations of H+ and OH- in a solution.

Explanation;

-A buffer solution is an aqueous solution consisting of a mixture of a weak acid and its conjugate base, or vice versa.

-A buffer can resist pH change upon the addition of an acidic or basic components. It is able to neutralize small amounts of added acid or base, thus maintaining the pH of the solution relatively stable.

3. Answer;

By combining the two substances, we can analyze how the buffers react and stabilize the pH in the solution

Explanation;

- We found out that MSG was a buffer, and since it was a buffer more hydrogen ions is added to the solution. When we added it to the solution, it became a solid, which was what precipitated.

-There were a lot of Hydrogen protons floating around and with the MSG precipitate, we have all of these floating hydrogen and hydroxide ions. These hydrogens and hydroxide ions attach to the MSG, and the extra hydrogens would help to form the precipitate.
