The temperature difference between day and night on Mars is much bigger than on Earth, due to its low atmospheric pressure. As mentioned above, the daytime temperature at the equator in summer on Mars is about 21°C. At night, it drops to about - 73°C! A syringe contains a sample of a gas with a volume of 12.0 mL during the day (21°C). What volume will the gas occupy at nighttime (- 73°C)?

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.
