Textbook Question
Chapter 10.8, Problem 2.3ACP
To stay aloft, a blimp must achieve neutral buoyancy; that is, its density must equal that of the surrounding air. The density of the blimp is its total weight (blimp, helium and air, passengers, and ballast) divided by its volume. Assume that the gross weight of the blimp includes the blimp’s structure and the helium, but does not include the air in the ballonets or the weights of the passengers and ballast. If the ballonets are filled with 12,000 ft3 (340 m3) of air at 1.00 atm and 25 °C, what additional weight (of passengers and ballast) is required for neutral buoyancy?

In the hot gases of an automotive engine's cylinders, temperatures may exceed 1142 K (degrees kelvin). What would be the "root mean square" or "rms" velocity of a hydrogen atom, if one happened to be in that gas after some chemical reaction? The mass of a hydrogen atom is about 1 AMU, or 1.66x10-27 kg. Give your answer in meters per second (m/s).
In a commonly used model of the atmosphere, the atmospheric pressure varies with altitude, h, according to the barometric formula:p = p0e–h/Hwhere p0 is the pressure at sea level and H is a constant approximately equal to 8 km. More specifically, H = RT/Mg, where M is the average molar mass of air and T is the temperature at the altitude h. This formula represents the outcome of the competition between the potential energy of the molecules in the gravitational field of the Earth and the stirring effects of thermal motion. Derive this relation by showing that the change in pressure dp for an infinitesimal change in altitude dh where the mass density is ρ is dp = −ρgdh. Remember that ρ depends on the pressure. Evaluate (a) the pressure difference between the top and bottom of a laboratory vessel of height 15 cm, and (b) the external atmospheric pressure at a typical cruising altitude of an aircraft (11 km) when the pressure at ground level is 1.0 atm.
The mercury in a barometer of a cross sectional area 1cm² stands at 75cm, and the space above it is 9cm in length. What volume of air, measured at atmospheric pressure, would have to be admitted into the space to cause the column of mercury to drop to 59cm?

- The human body burns glucose C6H12O6 for energy according to this chemical reaction:→+C6H12O66O2+6CO26H2O. The products of the reaction are carbon dioxide CO2 and water H2O. Interestingly, all of the carbon dioxide and much of the water exits the body through the lungs: on every breath, the average person exhales 500.mLof air, which is typically enriched to 4% CO2 and 5% water vapor by volume. In short, when a person loses weight by dieting, the weight that is lost actually departs his body as a gas, every time he exhales. Each kilogram of body fat lost requires exhaling about 3.0kg of carbon dioxide. Calculate how many breaths it takes an average person to "exhale" 2.00kg of fat. Round your answer to the nearest thousand.

This is an extremely useful industrial process of great antiquity, because powdered lime mixed with water is the basis for mortar and concrete — the lime absorbs CO2 from the air and turns back into hard, durable limestone. Suppose a limekiln of volume 800.L is pressurized with carbon dioxide gas to 26.6atm, and heated to 600.0°C. When the amount of CO2 has stopped changing, it is found that 10.1kg of CaCO3 have appeared. Calculate the pressure equilibrium constant Kp this experiment suggests for the equilibrium between CaCO3 and CaO at 600°C. Round your answer to 2 significant digits. Note for advanced students: it's possible there was some error in this experiment, and the value it suggests for Kp does not match the accepted value.arrow_forwardTorricelli, who invented the barometer, used mercury inits construction because mercury has a very high density,which makes it possible to make a more compact barometerthan one based on a less dense fluid.
