A weather balloon is filled with helium that occupies a volume of 5.00 × 104 l at 0.995 atm and 32.0°c. after it is released, it rises to a location where the pressure is 0.720 atm and the temperature is -12.0°c. what is the volume of the balloon at the new location?

Respuesta :

The answer is 59,129L.. Heres the work
T1 = 32 + 273 =305 K 
T2 = - 12 + 273 = 261 K 

p1V1/ T1 = p2V2 / T2 

0.995 x 5.00 x 10^4 / 305 = 0.720 V2 / 261 

V2 = 59129 L => 5.91 x 10^4 L

The new volume of the balloon rises to the new location is 5.91 × 10⁴L.

Given the data in the question;

  • Initial volume of helium; [tex]V_1 = 5.0*10^4L[/tex]
  • Initial pressure; [tex]P_1 = 0.995atm[/tex]
  • Initial temperature; [tex]T_1 = 32.0^oC = 305.15K[/tex]
  • Final pressure; [tex]P_2 = 0.720atm[/tex]
  • Final temperature; [tex]T_2 = -12.0^oC = 261.15K[/tex]
  • Final Volume; [tex]V_2 =\ ?[/tex]

Combined gas law

Combined gas law joins together both Boyle's Law, Charles's Law, and Gay-Lussac's Law. It states that "the ratio of the product of volume and pressure and the absolute temperature of a gas is equal to a constant.

It is expressed as;'

[tex]\frac{P_1V_1}{T_1} = \frac{P_2V_2}{T_2}[/tex]

We substitute our given values into the expression above.

[tex]\frac{P_1V_1}{T_1} = \frac{P_2V_2}{T_2}\\\\P_1V_1T_2 = P_2V_2T_1\\\\V_2 = \frac{P_1V_1T_2}{P_2T_1}\\ \\V_2 = \frac{0.995atm*(5.0*10^4L)*261.15K}{0.720atn * 305.15K}\\\\V_2 = \frac{12992212.5LatmK}{219.708atmK}\\ \\V_2 = 5.91*10^4L[/tex]

Therefore, the new volume of the balloon rises to the new location is 5.91 × 10⁴L.
