An arctic weather balloon is filled with 27.5 L of helium gas inside a prep shed. The temperature inside the shed is 9. °C. The balloon is then taken outside, where the temperature is -32. °C. Calculate the new volume of the balloon. You may assume the pressure on the balloon stays constant at exactly 1 atm. Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits. 0L X S ?

Helium-filled balloons rise in the air because the density of helium is less than the density of air. (a) If air has an average molar mass of 29.0 g/mol, what is the density of air at 25C and 770 mm Hg? (b) What is the density of helium at the same temperature and pressure? (c) Would a balloon filled with carbon dioxide at the same temperature and pressure rise?
A certain flexible weather balloon contains helium gas at a volume of 855 L. Initially, the balloon is at sea level where the temperature is 25C and the barometric pressure is 730 torr. The balloon then rises to an altitude of 6000 ft, where the pressure is 605 torr and the temperature is 15C. What is the change in volume of the balloon as it ascends from sea level to 6000 ft?
Densities of gases are usually measured in grams per liter g/L. Calculate the density of air if the mass of 15.7 L is 18.6 g.
You have a helium balloon at 1.00 atm and 25C. You want to make a hot-air balloon with the same volume and same lift as the helium balloon. Assume air is 79.0% nitrogen and 21.0% oxygen by volume. The lift of a balloon is given by the difference between the mass of air displaced by the balloon and the mass of gas inside the balloon. a. Will the temperature in the hot-air balloon have to be higher or lower than 25C? Explain. b. Calculate the temperature of the air required for the hot- air balloon to provide the same lift as the helium balloon at 1.00 atm and 25C. Assume atmospheric conditions are 1.00 atm and 25C.
A 39.6-mL sample of gas is trapped in a syringe and heated from 27 C to 127 C. What is the new volume (in mL) in the syringe if the pressure is constant?
