What causes pressure inside a helium balloon?

kupik [55]

Explanation:

So the gas pressure of a helium balloon arises from the impact of the collisions of the helium atoms between themselves and with the inside surface of the balloon. Of course, the outside atmosphere similarly exerts a pressure on the outside of the balloon.

Density of a piece of wood that has a measurement of 24 cm3 and 768 g

Brut [27]

Answer:

<h3>The answer is 32 g/cm³</h3>

Explanation:

The density of a substance can be found by using the formula

$density = \frac{mass}{volume} \\$

From the question

mass = 768 g

volume = 24 cm³

We have

$density = \frac{768}{24} \\$

We have the final answer as

A) Calculate the osmotic pressure difference between seawater and fresh water. For simplicity, assume thatall the dissolved salt

never [62]

Answer:

a) Δπ = 1.264 atm

b) W = 128 joules

c) ΔH >> W ( a factor greater than 17,000 )

Explanation:

a) The osmotic pressure, π , is determined by :

π = nRT/V, where n= moles of solute

R= 0.0821 Latm/kmol

T = 300 K

calling π(sw) osmotic pressure for for sea water and π (fw) for fresh water,

salinity of sea water = 3.5 g / 1L water (assuming only NaCl for the salts)

salinity of fresh water = 0.5 parts per thousand (range: 0- 0.5 ppt)

πsw = (3.5 g/58.44 g/mol) (0.0821 Latm/Kmol) (300 K ) /1 L = 1.475 atm

πfw = (0.5 g/58.44 g/mol) (0.0821 Latm/Kmol) (300 K ) /1 L = 0.211 atm

d water = 1 g/cm³

Δ π = (1.475 - 0.211) = 1.264 atm

b) W = Δπ V = 1.426 atm x 1L = 1.43 L-atm

1 L-atm = 101.33 j

W = 101.33 j/ Latm x 1.43 Latm = 128 joules

c) ΔH = Q₁ + nΔH vap, where

Q₁ = heat required to bring the solution from 300 K to boiling, 373 K

ΔH vap = heat of vaporization

Q = mCΔT = 1000 g x 4.186 j x 73 K = 305.6 j = 0.3056 kj

ΔH vap = (1000 g/ 18 g/mol ) 40.7 kj/mol = 2,261 kj

ΔH = 0.3056 kj + 2,261 kj = 2,261.3 kj

Note = Q << ΔH vap and we could have neglected it.

This result shows why nobody talks about evaporation of sea water to produce fresh water ΔH >> W

12. The vapor pressure of water at 90°C is 0.692 atm. What is the vapor pressure (in atm) of a solution made by dissolving 3.68

luda_lava [24]

Answer : The vapor pressure (in atm) of a solution is, 0.679 atm

Explanation : Given,

Mass of $H_2O$ = 1.00 kg = 1000 g

Moles of $CsF$ = 3.68 mole

Molar mass of $H_2O$ = 18 g/mole

Vapor pressure of water = 0.692 atm

First we have to calculate the moles of $H_2O$ .

$\text{Moles of }H_2O=\frac{\text{Mass of }H_2O}{\text{Molar mass of }H_2O}=\frac{1000g}{18g/mole}=55.55mole$

Now we have to calculate the mole fraction of $H_2O$

$\text{Mole fraction of }H_2O=\frac{\text{Moles of }H_2O}{\text{Moles of }H_2O+\text{Moles of }CsF}=\frac{55.55}{55.55+3.68}=0.938$

Now we have to partial pressure of solution.

According to the Raoult's law,

$P_{Solution}=X_{H_2O}\times P^o_{H_2O}$

where,

$P_{Solution}$ = vapor pressure of solution

$P^o_{H_2O}$ = vapor pressure of water = 0.692 atm

$X_{H_2O}$ = mole fraction of water = 0.938

$P_{Solution}=X_{H_2O}\times P^o_{H_2O}$

$P_{Solution}=0.938\times 0.692atm$

$P_{Solution}=0.649atm$

Therefore, the vapor pressure (in atm) of a solution is, 0.679 atm
