The platinum catalyst is intended for decrease the toxicity of combustion gases.
2CO + O₂ = CO₂
2NO = N₂ + O₂
2NO₂ = N₂ + 2O₂
But at the same time the carbon dioxide - greenhouse gas is formed.

The gas in a balloon occupies 2.25 L at 298 K and 300 kPa. At
o-na [289]

If a gas in a balloon occupies 2.25 L at 298 K and 300 kPa, the temperature at which the balloon expand to 3.50L and 2.17 atm is 345.23K.

<h3>How to calculate temperature?</h3>

The temperature of an ideal gas can be calculated using the following formula:

P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2

Where;

  • P1 = initial pressure
  • P2 = final pressure
  • V1 = initial volume
  • V2 = final volume
  • T1 = initial temperature
  • T2 = final temperature

According to the information given in this question;

  • P1 = 300kpa = 2.96 atm
  • P2 = 2.17 atm
  • V1 = 2.25L
  • V2 = 3.50L
  • T1 = 298K
  • T2 = ?

2.96 × 2.25/298 = 2.17 × 3.5/T2

0.022T2 = 7.595

T2 = 7.595 ÷ 0.022

T2 = 345.23K

Therefore, if a gas in a balloon occupies 2.25 L at 298 K and 300 kPa. the temperature at which the balloon expand to 3.50L and 2.17 atm is 345.23K.

What causes hot air to rise, and cool air to sink?
nataly862011 [7]

Answer:

hot air rises because gases expand as they heat up.When air heats up and expands,its density also increases.The warmer,less dense air effectively floats on top of the colder, dense air below it. This creates a buoyant force that causes warmer air to rise.

cold air sinks because it is heavier as its more dense ( because of closely packed molecules) soits harder for them to move and they absorb less energy. Also, gravity pulls on it more strongly.

Hope it helps :)
