A weather balloon is filled with helium that occupies a volume of 5.57 104 L at 0.995 atm and 32.0°C. After it is released, it r

ises to a location where the pressure is 0.720 atm and the temperature is -14.5°C. What is the volume of the balloon at that new location?

6.52 × 10⁴ L. (3 sig. fig.)

<h3>Explanation</h3>

Helium is a noble gas. The interaction between two helium molecules is rather weak, which makes the gas rather "ideal."

Consider the ideal gas law:

P\cdot V = n\cdot R\cdot T,

where

  • P is the pressure of the gas,
  • V is the volume of the gas,
  • n is the number of gas particles in the gas,
  • R is the ideal gas constant, and
  • T is the absolute temperature of the gas in degrees Kelvins.

The question is asking for the final volume V of the gas. Rearrange the ideal gas equation for volume:

V = \dfrac{n \cdot R \cdot T}{P}.

Both the temperature of the gas, T, and the pressure on the gas changed in this process. To find the new volume of the gas, change one variable at a time.

Start with the absolute temperature of the gas:

  • T_0 = (32.0 + 273.15) \;\text{K} = 305.15\;\text{K},
  • T_1 = (-14.5 + 273.15) \;\text{K} = 258.65\;\text{K}.

The volume of the gas is proportional to its temperature if both n and P stay constant.

  • n won't change unless the balloon leaks, and
  • consider P to be constant, for calculations that include T.

V_1 = V_0 \cdot \dfrac{T_1}{T_2} = 5.57\times 10^{4}\;\text{L}\times \dfrac{258.65\;\textbf{K}}{305.15\;\textbf{K}} = 4.72122\times 10^{4}\;\text{L}.

Now, keep the temperature at T_1 =258.65\;\text{K} and change the pressure on the gas:

  • P_1 = 0.995\;\text{atm},
  • P_2 = 0.720\;\text{atm}.

The volume of the gas is proportional to the reciprocal of its absolute temperature \dfrac{1}{T} if both n and T stays constant. In other words,

V_2 = V_1 \cdot\dfrac{\dfrac{1}{P_2}}{\dfrac{1}{P_1}} = V_1\cdot\dfrac{P_1}{P_2} = 4.72122\times 10^{4}\;\text{L}\times\dfrac{0.995\;\text{atm}}{0.720\;\text{atm}}=6.52\times 10^{4}\;\text{L}

(3 sig. fig. as in the question.).

See if you get the same result if you hold T constant, change P, and then move on to change T.

Balance the equation for magnasuin and oxygen to yield magnasuimoxide
Minchanka [31]

Answer:

2Mg + O₂  →  2MgO

Explanation:

Chemical equation:

Mg + O₂  →  MgO

Balanced chemical equation:

2Mg + O₂  →  2MgO

The balanced equation s given above and it completely follow the law of conservation of mass.

Law of conservation of mass:

According to the law of conservation mass, mass can neither be created nor destroyed in a chemical equation.

This law was given by french chemist  Antoine Lavoisier in 1789. According to this law mass of reactant and mass of product must be equal, because masses are not created or destroyed in a chemical reaction.

Steps to balanced the equation:

Step 1:

Mg + O₂  →  MgO

Mg = 1         Mg = 1

O = 2           O = 1

Step 2:

2Mg + O₂  →  MgO

Mg = 2         Mg = 1

O = 2           O = 1

Step 3:

2Mg + O₂  →  2MgO

Mg = 2         Mg = 2

O = 2           O = 2

A. Convert the mass of the Salt weighed out to fg.
omeli [17]

Answer:

6.564×10¹⁶ fg.

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Mass of beaker = 76.9 g

Mass of beaker + salt = 142.54 g

Mass of salt in fg =?

Next, we shall determine the mass of the salt in grams (g). This can be obtained as follow:

Mass of beaker = 76.9 g

Mass of beaker + salt = 142.54 g

Mass of salt =?

Mass of salt = (Mass of beaker + salt) – (Mass of beaker)

Mass of salt = 142.54 – 76.9

Mass of salt = 65.64 g

Finally, we shall convert 65.64 g to femtograms (fg) as illustrated below:

Recall:

1 g = 1×10¹⁵ fg

Therefore,

65.64 g = 65.64 g × 1×10¹⁵ fg / 1g

65.64 g = 6.564×10¹⁶ fg

Therefore, the mass of the salt is 6.564×10¹⁶ fg.
