(a)
Interpretation:
The change in volume of the balloon has to be given when the balloon floats to a higher altitude.
Concept Introduction:
Boyle’s Law:
At constant temperature, the pressure and the volume of the gas are inversely related.
Where P is pressure of the gas at constant temperature.
V is volume of the gas at constant temperature.
K is the constant.
(b)
Interpretation:
The change in volume of the balloon has to be given when the balloon is placed in bath of liquid nitrogen at
Concept Introduction:
Gay Lussac’s Law:
At constant volume, the temperature and the pressure of the gas are proportionally related.
Where P is the pressure of the gas.
T is the temperature of the gas in Kelvin.
K is the constant.
The temperature or the pressure of the gas can be calculated using the relation,
Where

- Consider a sealed flask with a movable piston that contains 5.25 L of O2 saturated with water vapor at 25C. The piston is depressed at constant temperature so that the gas is compressed to a volume of 2.00 L. (Use the table in Appendix 1 for the vapor pressure of water at various temperatures.) (a) What is the vapor pressure of water in the compressed gas mixture? (b) How many grams of water condense when the gas mixture is compressed?arrow_forwardWhen dry ammonia gas (NH3)is bubbled into a msp;125mLsample of water, the volume of the sample (initially, at least) decreases slightly. Suggest a reason for this.arrow_forwardAnswer the following questions: (a) If XX behaved as an ideal gas, what would its graph of Z vs. P look like? (b) For most of this chapter, we performed calculations treating gases as ideal. Was this justified? (c) What is the effect of the volume of gas molecules on Z? Under what conditions is this effect small? When is it large? Explain using an appropriate diagram. (d) What is the effect of intermolecular attractions on the value of Z? Under what conditions is this effect small? When is it large? Explain using an appropriate diagram. (e) In general, under what temperature conditions would you expect Z to have the largest deviations from the Z for an ideal gas?arrow_forward
