A ballon begins at sea level at 1 atm. It rises in the atmosphere to where the pressure is lower, to where the pressure is .75 a
1 answer:
Answer:
Original volume=3L
Explanation:
Assuming the gas in the ballon is ideal and the temperature does not vary with height we have the gas law as
PV=nRT
Here RHS is constant in both the conditions which means
PV=constant
Given P1=1 atm V1=V P2=0.75atm V2=4L
P1V1=P2V2
V=3L
The initial volume of the gas is 3L

Answer:
1) The Kelvin temperature cannot be negative
2) The Kelvin degree is written as K, not ºK
Explanation:
The temperature of an object can be written using different temperature scales.
The two most important scales are:
- Celsius scale: the Celsius degree is indicated with ºC. It is based on the freezing point of water (placed at 0ºC) and the boiling point of water (100ºC).
- Kelvin scale: the Kelvin is indicated with K. it is based on the concept of "absolute zero" temperature, which is the temperature at which matter stops moving, and it is placed at zero Kelvin (0 K), so this scale cannot have negative temperatures, since 0 K is the lowest possible temperature.
The expression to convert from Celsius degrees to Kelvin is:
Therefore in this problem, since the student reported a temperature of -3.5 ºK, the errors done are:
1) The Kelvin temperature cannot be negative
2) The Kelvin degree is written as K, not ºK
