Archimedes tells us the lifting power of a balloon (how much mass it can lift) is equal to the difference between the mass of th

e balloon and the mass of the air it displaces. That is, if the balloon occupies the same volume as 10 kg of air, but the balloon only weighs 2 kg, then the balloon can lift 8 kg. gas densityH2 0.09 kg/m3He 0.18 kg/m3Air 1.23 kg/m3 Airships have sometimes been filled with hydrogen (H), but hydrogen is very flammable, and after the Hindenburg caught fire and crashed in 1937 with serious loss of life airships have nearly always been filled with helium (He) instead. Suppose a new airship Star of Balogna will have the shape of a cylinder 40. m long, with a radius of 4.0 m, and will weigh 750. kg without any gas inside it. Suppose also the average passenger weighs 80 kg. Calculate how many passengers the Balogna could carry if it were filled with hydrogen, and also if it were filled with helium.

Answer:

the Balogna could carry  19 passengers if filled with Hydrogen.

the Balogna could carry  17 passengers if filled with Helium.

Explanation:

Given that:

the radius of the cylinder r = 4.0 cm

the height h = 40 m

the volume of the cylinder will be:

V = \pi r^2 h

V = π (4.0 m)² (40)

V = 2010.62 m³.

where the density of the air = 1.23 kg/m³

the mass of the displaced air = Volume V ×density of the air

= 2010.62 m³ × 1.23 kg/m³

= 2473.0626 kg

To calculate how many passengers the Balogna could carry if it were filled with hydrogen, we have the following:

We are given the density of H₂ to be = 0.090 kg/m³

Therefore, the mass of Helium in the balloon = Volume V × density of the hydrogen

= 2010.62 m³ × 0.090 kg/m³

= 180.9558 kg

The total mass of the balloon = mass of H₂ + mass of empty balloon.

The total mass of the balloon = (180.9558+ 750) kg

= 930.9558 kg

Now, the Mass difference = mass of the air displaced -total mass of the balloon.

the Mass difference =  (2473.0626 - 930.9558 ) kg

the Mass difference =  1542.1068 kg

∴

number of persons = mass difference/ mass of passenger

the number of persons = 1542.1068 kg /80 (kg/person)

the number of persons = 19.27 persons

the number of passengers \simeq 19 passengers.

To calculate how many passengers the Balogna could carry if it were filled with helium, we have the following:

We are given the density of Helium to be =  0.18 kg/m³

Therefore, the mass of Helium in the balloon = Volume V × density of the hydrogen

= 2010.62 m³ × 0.18 kg/m³

= 361.9116 kg

The total mass of the balloon = mass of Helium + mass of empty balloon.

The total mass of the balloon = (361.9116 + 750) kg

= 1111.9116 kg

Now, the Mass difference = mass of the air displaced -total mass of the balloon.

the Mass difference =  (2473.0626 - 1111.9116 ) kg

the Mass difference =  1361.151 kg

∴

number of persons = mass difference/ mass of passenger

the number of persons =  1361.151 kg /80 (kg/person)

the number of persons = 17.01 persons

the number of passengers \simeq 17 passengers.

Marvin records scientific data about Lake Superior. For which property has Marvin forgotten to use an SI unit of measurement?
Illusion [34]

Answer: low temperature

Explanation:-

S.I or M.K.S is a system for defining physical units as meter, kilogram, second, ampere, kelvin or celcius, candela, and mole together with a set of prefixes to indicate multiplication or division by a power of ten for measuring length, mass, time , current, temperature and amount of substance respectively.

Given :

lake length = 563 kilometers = 563\times 10^3m

High temperature =76.5^0F

Low temperature =-6.3^0C

annual precipitation =762 mm= 762\times 10^{-3}m

Thus low temperature in units of Fahrenheit is not an S.I unit of measurement.

How many molecules of ammonia are formed in the following equation: N2+3H2→2NH3
Katena32 [7]

Answer:

  • <u>two molecules of ammonia are formed by the reaction of one nitrogen and three hydrogen molecules.</u>

Explanation:

The  balanced chemical equation provides information on:

  • <u>Reactants</u>: those are the compounds that appear of the left side of the equation, each with its chemical formula.

  • <u>Products</u>: those are the compounds that appear on the right side of the equation, again, each with its chemical formula.

  • <u>Ratio</u>: the coefficients of each compound (the number to the left of the chemical formula) represent the ratio of the number of molecules that react and are formed.

In the given equation you have:

  • Equation: N₂ + 3H₂ → 2NH₃

  • The coefficients are 1 for nitrogen, 3 for hydrogen, and 2 for ammonia. Hence, 2 molecules of ammonia are formed by the reaction of 1 molecule of nitrogen and 3 molecules of hydrogen.

6 Calculate the number of molecules in 8 g of oxygen.
Mariana [72]

Answer:

If you mean the number of atoms in 8g of oxygen, it's 3.011 x 10^23 atoms.

Explanation:

Convert the grams to moles. 8 grams of oxygen is 0.5 moles. Then multiply the number of moles by Avogadro's number: 6.022 x 10^23.

A vegetable garden is 12 meters long by 7 meters wide. It is home 168 mice. What is the population of the mice.
kotegsom [21]
Hello there!

<span>A vegetable garden is 12 meters long by 7 meters wide. It is home 168 mice. What is the population of the mice. 
</span>
The size of the vegetable garden is just extra information.


The only information we need is: "<span>It is home 168 mice"

This means the population of mice is 168. Meaning, there are 168 mice living there.


I hope I helped!

Let me know if you need anything else!
