Question
Chapter 8.2, Problem 8.3CE
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
Reason that supports why gases are transparent to light has to be explained.
Concept Introduction:
Kinetic-molecular theory of gases:
Properties of gases are different from solids and liquids. When pressure is applied to gases, they are easily compressed to smaller volume and they have low densities. These properties can be explained by a theory called kinetic-molecular theory.
The four assumptions of this theory are given below:
- Gases are made up of particles like atoms or molecules which randomly move and there will be no attractive forces between them.
- Comparing the space occupied by the gas particles and the space between particles, the former is much smaller than the latter.
- The average kinetic energy of gas particles and the Kelvin temperature is proportional.
- There is an elastic collision between gas particles or with the wall of their container and thus no energy is lost during collision and total kinetic energy of the particles is constant.

a.Why do helium-filled balloons rise? Justify your answer using a quantified property of helium.
b.You have probably seen how people can breathe in helium and the property you discussed in part (a) causes their voices to come out much higher than normal when they talk. What would happen to your voice if you talked after breathing in argon gas? Explain why you should never actually do this.
