Concept explainers
Interpretation:
For the given condition of balloon, it should be checked will the balloon burst or not.
Concept introduction:
By combining the three gaseous laws namely Boyle’s law, Charles’s law and
According to ideal gas law,
Where,
P = pressure in atmospheres
V= volumes in liters
n = number of moles
R =universal gas constant (
T = temperature in kelvins
By knowing any three of these properties, the state of a gas can be simply identified with applying the ideal gas equation.
At constant temperature, gas constant and number of moles the above equation becomes;
From the above equation final volume (

Chemistry: An Atoms First Approach
- 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_forwardA 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_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_forward
- The graph below shows the distribution of molecular speeds for helium and carbon dioxide at the same temperature. (a) Which curve could represent the behavior of carbon dioxide? (b) Which curve represents the gas that would effuse more quickly? (c) Which curve could represent the behavior of helium gas?arrow_forwardNitrogen monoxide gas reacts with oxygen gas to produce nitrogen dioxide gas. What volume of nitrogen dioxide is produced from the reaction of 1 L nitrogen monoxide gas with 3 L oxygen gas? What volume, if any, of the reactants will remain after the reaction ends? Assume all volumes are measured at the same pressure and temperature.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_forward
- Workers at a research station in the Antarctic collected a sample of air to test for airborne pollutants. They collected the sample in a 1.00-L container at 764 torr and 20 C. Calculate the pressure in the container when it was opened for analysis in a particulate-free clean room in a laboratory in South Carolina, at a temperature of 22 C.arrow_forwardAlthough we: generally think of combustion reactions as involving oxygen gas, other rapid oxidation reactions are also referred to as combustions. For example, if magnesium metal is placed into chlorine gas, a rapid oxidation takes place, and magnesium chloride is produced. msp;Mg(s)+Cl2(g)MgCl2(s) at Volume of chlorine gas, measured at STP, is required to react completely with 1.02gof magnesium?arrow_forwardAt what temperature will a 1.0gsample of neon gas exert a pressure of 500torr in a 5.0Lcontainer?arrow_forward
- 82 Why do heavier gases move more slowly than light gases at the same temperature?arrow_forwardLiquid oxygen was first prepared by heating potassium chlorate, KClO3, in a closed vessel to obtain oxygen at high pressure. The oxygen was cooled until it liquefied. 2KClO3(s)2KCl(s)+3O2(g) If 171 g of potassium chlorate reacts in a 2.70-L vessel, which was initially evacuated, what pressure of oxygen will be attained when the temperature is finally cooled to 25C? Use the preceding chemical equation and ignore the volume of solid product.arrow_forward
