At a festival, spherical balloons with a radius of 170.cm are to be inflated with hot air and released. The air at the festival

will have a temperature of 25°C and must be heated to 100°C to make the balloons float. 1.00kg of butane C4H10 fuel are available to be burned to heat the air. Calculate the maximum number of balloons that can be inflated with hot air.

Answer:

The correct answer is 1.5 balloons.

Explanation:

Based on the given question, the radius of the spherical balloons is 170 cm. Therefore, the volume of each balloon will be,  

= 4/3 × π × (170)³ cm³

= 20.5176 × 10⁶ cm³  

= 20.5176 m³

The density of air at 100 degree C s 0.946 Kg m⁻³

The mass of air in each balloon can be calculated by using the formula,  

Mass = density × volume

Mass = 0.946 Kg m⁻³ × 20.5176 m³

Mass = 19.410 Kg

The heat energy, that is, required to bring the air from 25 degree C to 100 degree C will be,  

= 19.410 × 10³ g × (100 -25) degree C × 1.009 J/g degree C

= 14.68 × 10⁵ J

The concentration of butane given is 1.00 Kg or 1000 g

The molecular weight of butane is 58.12 g per mole

The moles or n can be calculated by using the formula,  

n = mass / mol.wt

n = 1000 g/58.12 g/mol = 17.20 mol

The formation of enthalpy of butane at 25 degree C is 125.7 × 10³ J/mol. The evolution of heat energy that take place at the time of burning 17.20 moles of butane is,  

= 125.7 × 10³ J/mol × 17.20 mol

= 2.16 × 10⁶ J

The number of balloons that can be inflated with hot air is,  

= 2.16 × 10⁶ J / 14.68 × 10⁵ J per each balloon

= 1.5 balloons

Hence, maximum of 1.5 balloons can be inflated.

A rigid tank that contains 2 kg of N2 at 25°C and 550 kPa is connected to another rigid tank that contains 4 kg of O2 at 25°C an
koban [17]

Answer:

The volume in the first tank = 0.32 m^{3}

The volume in the second tank = 2.066 m^{3}

The  final pressure of the mixture = 203.64 K pa

Explanation:

<u>First Tank </u>

Mass = 2 kg

Pressure = 550 k pa

Temperature = 25 °c = 298 K

Gas constant for nitrogen = 0.297 \frac{KJ}{Kg K}

From the ideal gas equation

P V = m R T

550 × V = 2 × 0.297 × 298

V = 0.32 m^{3}

This is the volume in the first tank.

<u>Second tank</u>

Mass =  4 kg

Pressure = 150 K pa

Temperature = 25 °c = 298 K

Gas constant for oxygen = 0.26  \frac{KJ}{Kg K}

From the ideal gas equation

P V = m R T

150 × V = 4 × 0.26 × 298

V = 2.066 m^{3}

This is the volume in the second tank.

This is the iso thermal mixing. i.e.

P_{3} V_{3}  = P_{1} V_{1} + P_{2} V_{2} ----- (1)

V_{3}  = V_{1}  + V_{2}

V_{3}  = 0.32 + 2.066

V_{3}  = 2.386 \ m^{3}

Put this value in equation (1)

P_{3} × 2.386 =  550 × 0.32 + 150 × 2.066

P_{3} = 203.64 K pa

Therefore the  final pressure of the mixture = 203.64 K pa

Are plants and animal pH sensitive?​
Rudiy27

Answer:

Plants and animals are pH sensitive. The growth of plants is dependent on the nature of the soil. If the pH of the soil is greater than 7 and is alkaline, then the plants cannot grow in the soil.
