Explanation:

Expression for vertical fluid pressure is as follows.

               \frac{dP}{dh} = \rho \times g ........... (1)

where,     p = pressure

            \rho = density

               g = acceleration due to gravity

               h = height

Since, g is negative then it means that an increase in height will lead to decrease in pressure.

Also, expression for density according to ideal gas law is as follows.

                 \rho = \frac{mP}{kT} .......... (2)

where,         m = average mass or air molecule

                    P = pressure at a given point

                    k = Boltzmann constant

                    T = temperature in kelvin

Substituting values from equation (2) into equation (1) as follows.

              \frac{dP}{dh} = \rho \times g

              \frac{dP}{dh} = \frac{mP}{kT} \times g

               \frac{dP}{P} =  \frac{mg}{kT}dh

Now, on applying integration on both the sides we get the following.

                    ln\frac{P_{h}}{P^{o}} = \frac{-mgh}{kT}

or,                          P_{h} = P_{o}e^{\frac{-mgh}{kT}}                    

where,           P_{h} = pressure at height h

                      P_{o} = pressure at reference point    

Thus, we can conclude that the correlation between pressure and elevation for an ideal gas is  P_{h} = P_{o}e^{\frac{-mgh}{kT}}.

4) What volume will the gas in the balloon at right occupy at 250k?<br><br> balloon: 4.3L 350K
swat32

Answer:

2.87 liter.

Explanation:

Given:

Initially volume of balloon = 4.3 liter

Initially temperature of balloon = 350 K

Question asked:

What volume will the gas in the balloon occupy at 250 K ?

Solution:

By using:

Pv =nRT

Assuming pressure as constant,

V∝ T

Now, let  K is the constant.

V = KT

Let initial volume of balloon , V_{1} = 4.3 liter

1000 liter = 1 meter cube

1 liter = \frac{1}{1000} m^{3} = 10^{-3} m^{3

4.3 liter = 4.3\times10^{-3}=4.3\times10^{-3} m^{3}

And initial temperature of balloon, T_{1} = 350 K

Let the final volume of balloon is V_{2}

And as given, final temperature of balloon, T_{2} is 250 K

Now, V_{1} = KT_{1}

4.3\times10^{-3}=K\times350\ (equation\ 1 )

V_{2} = KT_{2}

=K\times250\ (equation 2)

Dividing equation 1 and 2,

\frac{4.3\times10^{-3}}{V_{2} } =\frac{K\times350}{K\times250}

K cancelled by K.

By cross multiplication:

350V_{2} =4.3\times10^{-3} \times250\\V_{2} =\frac{ 4.3\times10^{-3} \times250\\}{350} \\          = \frac{1075\times10^{-3}}{350} \\          =2.87\times10^{-3}m^{3}

Now, convert it into liter with the help of calculation done above,

2.87\times10^{-3} \times1000\\2.87\times10^{-3} \times10^{3} \\2.87\ liter

Therefore, volume of the gas in the balloon at 250 K will be  2.87 liter.
