A weather balloon is filled with helium that occupies a volume of 5.00x104L at 0.995atm and 32.0C. After it is released, it rise
1 answer:
The volume of the balloon at that location is 615 L.
<u>Explanation:</u>
We have to find the volume of the balloon, using the volume, pressure and temperature using the equation as,
P1 = 0.995 atm
P2 = 0.720 atm
V1 = 5 × 104 L = 520 L
T1 = 32 + 273 = 305 K
T2 = -12+ 273 = 261 K
We need to find V2 by rearranging the above equation as,
V2 =
Now plugin the values as,
V2 =
= 614.9 ≈ 615 L
So the volume of the balloon at that location is 615 L.

Answer:
26.25 mL
Explanation:
This is a dilution problem. First, let us calculate the volume of final solution needed:
The dog weighs 50 pounds and the sedative is administered at 0/7 ml per pound. Hence:
50 x 0.7 = 35 mL
A total volume of 35 mL, 2.5% solution of the sedative will be needed.
But 10% solution is available. There needs to be a dilution with saline water, but what volume of the 10% solution would be diluted?
initial volume = ?
final volume = 35 mL
initial concentration = 10%
final concentration = 2.5%
Using dilution equation:
initial concentration x initial volume = final concentration x final volume
initial volume =
= 2.5 x 35/10 = 8.75 mL
Hence, 8.75 mL of the 10% pre-mixed sedative will be required.
But 35 mL is needed? The 8.75 mL is marked up to 35 mL with saline water.
35 - 8.75 = 26.25 mL
<em>Therefore, 26.25 mL of saline water will be added to 8.75 mL of the 10% pre-mixed sedative to give 2.5%, 35 mL needed for the dog.</em>
All liquids, at any temperature, exert a certain vapor pressure. The vapor pressure can be thought of as the degree to which the liquid molecules are escaping into the vapor phase. The vapor pressure increases with temperature, because at higher temperature the molecules are moving faster and more able to overcome the attractive intermolecular forces that tend to bind them together. Boiling occurs when the vapor pressure reaches or exceeds the surrounding pressure from the atmosphere or whatever else is in contact with the liquid.
At standard atmospheric pressure (1 atmosphere = 0.101325 MPa), water boils at approximately 100 degrees Celsius. That is simply another way of saying that the vapor pressure of water at that temperature is 1 atmosphere. At higher pressures (such as the pressure generated in a pressure cooker), the temperature must be higher before the vapor pressure reaches the surrounding pressure, so water under pressure boils at a higher temperature. Similarly, when the surrounding pressure is lower (such as at high altitudes), the vapor pressure reaches that pressure at a lower temperature. For example, in the Denver, Colorado area of the U.S. where the elevation above sea level is approximately one mile (1600 meters), the atmospheric pressure is about 83% of a standard atmosphere, and water boils at approximately 95 degrees Celsius
