The balloon Spirit of Freedom, flown around the world by American Steve Fossett in 2002, contained 550,000 cubic feet of helium.

How much PΔV work was done by the balloon on the surrounding atmosphere, assuming atmospheric pressure was 1.00 atm while the balloon was being inflated?

Assuming the balloon initially has volume of 0 when deflated, the total P(deltaV) = (1.00 atm)(550,000 ft^3) = 550,000 atm-ft^3. To convert into work units, we can first convert ft^3 to L:
(550,000 atm-ft^3)(1 m/3.28 ft)^3
= (15,586.2 atm-m^3)
Then we convert to L:
(15,586.2 atm-m^3)(1000 L/m^3)
= 15,586,200 atm-L
Then we convert to J:
(15,586,200 atm-L)(101.325 J / 1 atm-L)
= 1.579 x 10^9 J

How do ice and water on the ground affect incoming solar radiation?
Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:

Ice and water on the ground affect incoming solar radiation by reflecting 4 percent of solar radiation that reaches the surface. ... When the sun angle is high and water is liquid notice, there is less reflection that takes place.

What assumptions do we make in order to use the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation? a. Both the weak acid and its conjugate base are
zepelin [54]

Answer:

The final and initial concentration of the acid and it's conjugate base are approximately equal, that is we use the weak acid approximation.

Explanation:

The Henderson-Hasselbalch is used to calculate the pH of a buffer solution. It depends on the weak acid approximation.

Since the weak acid ionizes only to a small extent, then we can say that [HA] ≈ [HA]i

Where [HA] = final concentration of the acid and [HA]i = initial concentration of the acid.

It also follows that [A^-] ≈ [A^-]i where [A^-] and[A^-]i refer to final and initial concentrations of the conjugate base hence the answer above.
