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.

There are 34 questions on a test. John answers 22 correctly. What is Johns percent error?
VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

35 . 29%

Explanation:

no. of questions in test =34

no. of questions answered correctly =22

therefore, no. of questions answered incorrectly =34 - 22

=12

error percentage = 12/34 * 100

=35 .29 %

A solution is prepared by adding 100 mL of 1.0 M HC2H3O2 (aq) to 100 mL of 1.0 M NaC2H3O2 (aq). The solution is stirred and its
DIA [1.3K]

Answer:

(C) H3O+(aq) + C2H3O2−(aq) -> HC2H3O2(aq) + H2O(l)

Explanation:

A buffer is a solution of a weak acid and its salt. It mitigates against changes in acidity or alkalinity of a system. A buffer maintains the pH at a constant value by switching the equilibrium concentration of the conjugate acid or conjugate base respectively.

Addition if an acid shifts the equilibrium position towards the conjugate acid side while addition of a base shifts the equilibrium position towards the conjugate base side.

A container holds one mole of a gas if the amount of gas is tripled how many molecules of gas will be in the container?
Semmy [17]

Answer:At the molecular level, the pressure of a gas depends on the number of collisions its molecules have with the walls of the container. If the pressure on the piston is doubled, the volume of the gas decreases by one-half. The gas molecules, now confined in a smaller volume, collide with the walls of the container twice as often and their pressure once again equals that of the piston.
