Concept explainers
Interpretation: The temperature of the balloon at the mountaintop is to be calculated.
Concept Introduction: The combined
The Charles’s law states the relation between volume and temperature. According to Charles’s law, the volume is directly proportional to temperature.
The Boyle’s law states the relation between pressure and volume. According to Boyle’s Law, the pressure is inversely proportional to volume.
Therefore, the combined gas law combines both laws to give the equation is:
For two different measurements, the combined gas law equation is:

- 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.arrow_forwardcertain 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?arrow_forwardA sample of carbon monoxide was collected over water at a total pressure of 756 torr and a temperature of 18 °C. What is the pressure of the carbon monoxide? (See Table 9.2 for the vapor pressure of water.)arrow_forward
- A large balloon contains 65.0 L of helium gas at 25 C and a pressure of 745 mm Hg. The balloon ascends to 3000 m, at which the external pressure has decreased by 30.%. What would be the volume of the balloon, assuming it expands so that the internal and external pressures are equal? (Assume the temperature is still 25 C.)arrow_forwardA 20.0L stainless steel container at 25C was charged with 2.00 atm of hydrogen gas and 3.00 atm of oxygen gas. A spark ignited the mixture, producing water. What is the pressure in the tank at 25C? If the exact same experiment were performed, but the temperature was 125C instead of 25C, what would be the pressure in the tank?arrow_forward
