Question

At an altitude of 11,000 m (a typical cruising altitude for a jet airliner), the air temperature is -60.0 ∘C and the air density is 0.491 kg/m3. The molar mass of air is 28.8 g/mol.

What is the pressure of the atmosphere at that altitude? (Note: The temperature at this altitude is not the same as at the surface of the earth, so the equation P=P0exp(−MgyRT) doesn't apply.)

  • Suppose you have a large hot air balloon, open at the bottom but filled with air that is heated to 50 °C while the outside air is 10 °C.  What can you say about the air inside the balloon and how much it can lift?   The density of air is surprisingly high: 1.23 kg/m3, an average hot air balloon has a volume of 3000 m3 , and the acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s2.     The density is  higher by the factor (273 + 50)/(273+10) = 1.14 and therefore will not have a buoyant force and will not lift off the ground with any load.       The density is lower by the factor (273 + 10)/(273+50) = 0.88 and therefore will have a buoyant force of 0.88 times the weight of the air it replaced, or about 32,000 N.        The density is lower by the factor (273 + 10)/(273+50) = 0.88 and therefore will have a buoyant force of 0.12 times the weight of the air it replaced, or about 4300 N.        The density is the same but the pressure of the hot air is higher by (273 + 50)/(273+10) =…
    In one observation, the column in a mercury barometer has a measured height h of 740.35 mm.The temperature is 5.0 C, at which temperature the density of mercury r is 1.3608 * 10^4 kg/m3.The free-fall acceleration g at the site of the barom- eter is 9.7835 m/s2.What is the atmospheric pressure at that site in pascals and in torr (which is the common unit for barometer readings)?
    A deep sea diver should breathe a gas mixture that has the same oxygen partial pressure as at sea level, where dry air contains 20.9% oxygen and has a total pressure of 1.01 ✕ 105 N/m2. (a) What is the partial pressure (in N/m2) of oxygen at sea level? N/m2 (b) If the diver breathes a gas mixture at a pressure of 2.00 ✕ 106 N/m2, what percent oxygen should it be to have the same oxygen partial pressure as at sea level? %
