1. A weather balloon is filled with helium on a cool morning when the temperature is 13.0°C. The temperature is predicted to rea

ch 35.0°C around 4 PM. When first inflated, the balloon has a volume of 12.9 L and is at 238 kPa – these are the standard volume and pressure for this type of weather balloon. Based on the balloon design, it can only withstand pressures up to 252 kPa.
How many moles of helium are in this hot air balloon?
Will the balloon burst when the temperature reaches 35.0 C?

Please someone help, Im mostly stumped by R. I know it is 8.314 L kPa/mole K but i dont know how to calculate that please help

Answer:

Number of moles: n = 1.29 moles

If the temperature reaches 35°C which is 308.15 K the balloon will burst

Explanation:

Using the formula: PV = nRT  

Where P is pressure in atm, V is volume in L, n is the number of moles, R is the gas constant which can be 8.314 J/mol K or 0.08206 atm L/mol K, and T is temperature in K.

In order to know which R to use, just take a look at the units. If you are given the pressure in atm, then use 0.08206 atm L/mol K. If you are given energy in Joules instead, then use 8.314 J/mol K.

Problem solution:

1 atm = 101.325 kPa, so 238 kPa is equal to 2.349 atm

1°C is 274.15 K, so 13°C is 286.15 k

Using the formula PV = nRT

2.349 atm * 12.9 L = n * 0.08206 atm L/mol K * 286.15 k  

n = (30.302 atm L) / (23.481 atm L/mol)

n = 1.29 moles

If the temperature reaches 35°C which is 308.15 K the balloon will burst:

P = nRT/V

P = (1.29 moles * 0.08206 atm L/mol K * 308.15 k) / 12.9 L

P = 2.529 atm = 256.21 kPa

Isotope b has a half-life of 3 days. a scientist measures out 100 grams of this substance. after 6 days has passed, the scientis
Brilliant_brown [7]
So half life is the time taken for a sample to decay to half its original mass, its a constant and applies to any original mass, it could be 5g or 1kg, it will take the same amount of time for the original mass to half. In this case the half life is 3 days.

After 3 days the sample will be at half its original mass, now 50g. 

Now we can treat the 50g as if its a new sample. After another 3 days (6 days in total) there will be half of 50g left, = 25g.

Answer:

Weak bonds require less energy to form than strong bonds

Explanation:

According to Coulomb's law, the force between two species is inversely proportional to the distance between them. That said, the bigger the atoms are, the greater the bond length should be to form a molecule.

As a result, for a greater bond length, the attraction force is lower than for a shorter bond length. This implies that large atoms would form weak bonds and small atoms would form strong bonds.

Bond energy is defined as the amount of energy required to break the bond. If a bond is weak, it would require a low amount of energy to break it. This is also true for energy of formation, as it's the same process taking place in the opposite direction.
