A balloon is filled with 5 grams of helium gas. If the balloon takes up 10 mL of space and has a pressure of 20 mm Hg, which gas law needs to be used to find the temperature inside the balloon

Respuesta :

Answer:

We will use ideal gas law to find the temperature inside the balloon.

The temperature inside the balloon is 0.002564 K.

Explanation:

We will use ideal gas law , given as :

PV = nRT

where,

P = Pressure of gas

V = Volume of gas

n = number of moles of gas

R = Gas constant = 0.0821 L.atm/mol.K

T = Temperature of gas

So,using ideal gas equation to find the temperature inside the balloon:

PV = nRT

where,

P =  20 mmHg =[tex]\frac{20}{760}atm=[/tex]

V = 10 mL  = 0.010 L

n = = [tex]\frac{5 g}{4 g/mol}=1.25 mol[/tex]

R =  0.0821 L.atm/mol.K

T = Temperature of helium gas = ?

Putting values in above equation, we get:

[tex](\frac{20 }{760}atm)\times 0.010 L=1.25 \times (0.0821L.atm/mol.K)\times T[/tex]

[tex]T=\frac{\frac{20 }{760}atm)\times 0.010 L}{1.25 mol\times (0.0821L.atm/mol.K)}=0.002564 K[/tex]

The temperature inside the balloon is 0.002564 K.
