Consider a balloon that will expand without any restriction until it pops. If the balloon can hold a maximum of 5.0 L of gas before it pops, and you're filling the balloon at a mass flow rate of 3.0 g/s of hydrogen gas, determine how long you can fill the balloon before it pops if the gas and the surrounding atmosphere is at 26 °C. Take the outside pressure to be 0.97 atm.

The following figure shows three 1.00-L bulbs connected by valves. Each bulb contains argon gas with amounts proportional to the number of circles pictorially represented in the chamber. All three bulbs are maintained at the same temperature. Unless stated otherwise, assume that the valves connecting the bulbs are closed and seal the gases in their respective chambers. Assume also that the volume between each bulb is negligible. (a) Which bulb has the highest pressure? (b) If the pressure in bulb A is 0.500 atm, what is the pressure in bulb C? (c) If the pressure in bulb A is 0.500 atm, what is the total pressure? (d) If the pressure in bulb A is 0.500 arm, and the valve between bulbs A and B is opened, redraw the figure shown above to accurately represent the gas atoms in all three bulbs. What is P A+P B+P C? Compare your answer in part (d) to that in part (c). (e) Follow the instructions of part (d) but now open only the valve between bulbs B and C.
certain flexible weather balloon contains helium gas at a volume of 855L. Initially, the balloon is at sea level where the temperature is 25 °C and the barometric pressure is 730torr. The balloon men rises to an altitude of 6000 ft, where the pressure is 605torr and the temperature is 15C. What is the change in volume of the balloon as it ascends from sea level to 6000ft?
The graph below shows the distribution of molecular speeds for helium and carbon dioxide at the same temperature. (a) Which curve could represent the behavior of carbon dioxide? (b) Which curve represents the gas that would effuse more quickly? (c) Which curve could represent the behavior of helium gas?
A 275-mL sample of CO gas is collected over water at 31C and 755 mmHg. If the temperature of the gas collection apparatus rises to 39C, what is the new volume of the sample? Assume that the barometric pressure does not change.
Most mixtures of hydrogen gas with oxygen gas are explosive. However, a mixture that contains less than 3.0 % O2 is not. If enough O2 is added to a cylinder of H2 at 33.2 atm to bring the total pressure to 3-13 atm, is the mixture explosive?
