A weather balloon is inflated to a volume of 29.5 L at a pressure of 736 mmHg and a temperature of 27.6 °C. The balloon rises in the atmosphere to an altitude where the pressure is 400. mmHg and the temperature is -16.4 °C. Assuming the balloon can freely expand, calculate the volume of the balloon at this altitude. Vballoon = [5] ΑΣΦ ? L

93 The complete combustion of octane can be used as a model for the burning of gasoline: 2C8H18+25O216CO2+18H2O Assuming that this equation provides a reasonable model of the actual combustion process, what volume of air at 1.0 atm and 25°C must be taken into an engine to burn 1 gallon of gasoline? (The partial pressure of oxygen in air is 0.21 atm and the density of liquid octane is 0.70 g/mL.)
