A balloon contains 500 m3of helium at 27°C and 1 atmosphere pressu...
°C and 1 atm pressure. If the balloon rises to an altitude where the temperature drops to 10°C and the pressure is 0.8 atm, what is the new volume of the balloon?
Assuming the balloon and the gas inside it behave ideally, we can use the ideal gas law to solve for the new volume:
PV = nRT
where P is the pressure, V is the volume, n is the number of moles of gas, R is the ideal gas constant, and T is the absolute temperature.
Since the number of moles of helium does not change, we can write:
PV/T = constant
At the initial conditions, we have:
P1 = 1 atm
V1 = 500 m3
T1 = 27°C = 300 K (adding 273 to convert from Celsius to Kelvin)
R = 8.31 J/(mol·K) (the ideal gas constant)
So we can solve for the initial number of moles:
n = P1 V1 / (R T1) = (1 atm) (500 m3) / (8.31 J/(mol·K) × 300 K) ≈ 20,000 moles
Now, at the new conditions, we have:
P2 = 0.8 atm
T2 = 10°C = 283 K
n = 20,000 moles
We can solve for the new volume:
V2 = n R T2 / P2 = (20,000 moles) (8.31 J/(mol·K) × 283 K) / (0.8 atm) ≈ 707 m3
Therefore, the new volume of the balloon is approximately 707 m3.
