A weather balloon is filled with helium that occupies a volume of 5.00 × 10^4 L at 0.995 atm and 32.0°C. After it is released, i
DaniilM [7]

Answer:

The new volume is 5.913*10^4 L

Explanation:

Step 1: Write out the formula to be used:

Using general gas equation;

P1V1 / T1 =P2V2 /T2

V2 = P1V1T2 / P2T1

Step 2: write out the values given and convert to standard unit's where necessary

P1 = 0.995atm

P2 0.720atm

V1 = 5*10^4 L

T1 = 32°C = 32+ 273 = 305K

T2 = -12°C = -12 + 273 = 261K

Step 3: Equate your values and do the calculation:

V2 = 0.995 * 5*10^4 * 261 / 0.720 * 305

V2 = 1298.475 * 10^4 / 219.6

V2 = 5.913 * 10^4 L

So the new volume of the balloon is 5.913*10^4 L

The following data is given to find the formula of a Hydrate:
umka21 [38]

The masses can be found by substractions:

  • Mass of CaSO₄.H2O (hydrate):

16.05 g - 13.56 g = 2.49 g

  • Mass of CaSO₄ anhydrate:

15.07 g - 13.56 g = 1.51 g

  • The mass of water is equal to the difference between the mass of the hydrate and the mass of the anhydrate:

2.49 g - 1.51 g = 0.98 g

  • The percent of water is found by the formula:

massWater ÷ massHydrate * 100%

0.98 g ÷ 2.49 g * 100% = 39.36%

  • The mole of water is calculated using water's molecular weight (18g/mol):

0.98 g ÷ 18 g/mol = 0.054 mol water

  • A similar procedure is made for the mole of salt (CaSO₄ = 136.14 g/mol)

1.51 g ÷ 136.14 g/mol = 0.011 mol CaSO₄

  • The ratio of mole of water to mole of anhydrate is:

0.054 mol water / 0.011 mol CaSO₄ = 0.49

In other words the molecular formula for the hydrate salt is CaSO₄·0.5H₂O
