- The following figure shows three 1.00-L bulbs connected by valves. Each bulb contains argon gas with amounts proportional to the number of circles pictorially represented in the chamber. All three bulbs are maintained at the same temperature. Unless stated otherwise, assume that the valves connecting the bulbs are closed and seal the gases in their respective chambers. Assume also that the volume between each bulb is negligible. (a) Which bulb has the highest pressure? (b) If the pressure in bulb A is 0.500 atm, what is the pressure in bulb C? (c) If the pressure in bulb A is 0.500 atm, what is the total pressure? (d) If the pressure in bulb A is 0.500 arm, and the valve between bulbs A and B is opened, redraw the figure shown above to accurately represent the gas atoms in all three bulbs. What is P A+P B+P C? Compare your answer in part (d) to that in part (c). (e) Follow the instructions of part (d) but now open only the valve between bulbs B and C.arrow_forwardHydrogen gas is used in weather balloon because it is less expensive than Helium. Assume that 5.57 g of H2 is used to fill a weather balloon to an initial volume of 67 L at 1.04 atm. If the ballloon rises to an altitude where the pressure is 0.047 atm, what is its new volume? Assume that the temperature remains constant.arrow_forwardShown below are three containers of an ideal gas (A, B, and C), each equipped with a movable piston (assume that atmospheric pressure is 1.0 atm). a How do the pressures in these containers compare? b Are all the gases at the same temperature? If not, compare the temperatures. c If you cooled each of the containers in an ice-water bath to 0.0C, describe how the volumes and pressures of the gases in these containers would compare.arrow_forward
