Based on the data provided;
- number of moles of helium gas is 1.25 moles
- pressure at peak temperature is 259.3 kPa
- internal pressure is above 256 kPa, therefore, the balloon will burst.
- pressure should be reduced to a value less than 256 kPa by reducing the temperature
<h3>What is the ideal has equation?</h3>
The ideal gas equation relatesthe pressure, volume, moles and temperature of a gas.
The moles of helium gas is calculated using the Ideal gas equation:
n is the number of moles of gas
R is molar gas constant = 8.314 L⋅kPa/Kmol
P is pressure = 239 kPa
T is temperature = 21°C = 294 K
V is volume = 12.8 L
Therefore;
n = PV/RT
n = 239 × 12.8 / 8.314 × 294
n = 1.25 moles
The number of moles of helium gas is 1.25 moles
At peak temperature, T = 46°C = 319 K
Using P1/T1 = P2/T2
P2 = P1T2/T1
P2 = 239 × 319/294
P2 = 259.3 kPa
The pressure at peak temperature is 259.3 kPa
At 42°C, T = 315 K
Using P1/T1 = P2/T2
P2 = P1T2/T1
P2 = 239 × 315/294
P2 = 256.07 kPa
Since the internal pressure is above 256 kPa, the balloon will burst.
The pressure should be reduced to a value less than 256 kPa by reducing the temperature.
