Hot air balloons have hot air inside them, which is less dense as the air around it. Thus it rises. A cold air balloon would sink because the air would be more dense than the air around it. Also, the balloon’s volume would vary in size depending on the weight of the balloon.
Answer:
- There will be 1.23 moles of helium in the balloon at STP
Explanation:
1) <u>Initial conditions of the helium gas</u>:
- V = 20.0 liter
- p = 1.50 atm
- T = 25.0 °C = 25.0 + 273.15 K = 298.15 K
2) <u>Ideal gas equation</u>:
- pV = n RT
- p, V, and T are given above
- R is the Universal constant = 0.0821 atm-liter / ( K - mol)
- n is the unknown number of moles
3) <u>Solve for n</u>:
- n = 1.50 atm × 20.0 liter / (0.0821 atm-liter /k -mol ×298.15K)
4) <u>At STP:</u>
- STP stands for standard pressure and temperature.
- The amount (number of moles) of the gas will not change because the change of pressure and temperature, so the number of moles reamain the same: 1.23 mol.
Answer: Uranium enrichment. Uranium is used to fuel nuclear reactors; however, uranium must be enriched before it can be used as fuel. Enriching uranium increases the amount of uranium-235 (U235) that can sustain the nuclear reaction needed to release energy and produce electricity at a nuclear power plant.
