- A certain flexible weather balloon contains helium gas at a volume of 855 L. Initially, the balloon is at sea level where the temperature is 25C and the barometric pressure is 730 torr. The balloon then rises to an altitude of 6000 ft, where the pressure is 605 torr and the temperature is 15C. What is the change in volume of the balloon as it ascends from sea level to 6000 ft?arrow_forwardTwo identical He-filled balloons, each with a volume of 20 L, are allowed to rise into the atmosphere. One rises to an altitude of 3000 m while the other rises to 6000 m. a Assuming that the balloons are at the same temperature, which balloon has the greater volume? b What information would you need in order to calculate the volume of each of the balloons at their respective heights?arrow_forwardYou 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.arrow_forward
- 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_forwardConsider these four gas samples, all at the same temperature. The larger boxes have twice the volume of the smaller boxes. Rank the gas samples with respect to: (a) pressure, (b) density, (c) average kinetic energy, and (d) average molecular speed. (Green spheres are He; violet spheres are Ne.)arrow_forwardCan the speed of a given molecule in a gas double at constant temperature? Explain your answer.arrow_forward
- A balloon filled with helium hasa volume of 1.28103 L at sea level where the pressure is 0.998 atm and the temperature is 31C. The balloon is taken to the top of a mountain where the pressure is 0.753 atm and the temperature is 25C. What is the volume of the balloon at the top of the mountain?arrow_forwardAmmonium chloride, NH4Cl, is a while solid. When heated to 325C, it gives a vapor that is a mixture of ammonia and hydrogen chloride. NH4Cl(s)NH3(g)+HCl(g) Suppose someone contends that the vapor consists of NH4Cl molecules rather than a mixture of NH3 and HCl. Could you decide between these alternative views on the basis of gas-density measurements?

- Uranium hexafluoride, UF6, is a white solid that sublimes (vaporizes without melting) at 57C under normal atmospheric pressure. The compound is used to separate uranium isotopes by effusion. What is the rms speed (in m/s) of a uranium hexafluoride molecule at 57C?arrow_forwardA sample of a breathing mixture for divers contained 34.3% helium, He; 51.7% nitrogen, N2; and 14.0% oxygen, O2 (by mass). What is the density of this mixture at 22C and 775 mmHg?arrow_forward
