Question
A 15.0 L15.0 L helium tank is pressurized to 27.0 atm.27.0 atm. When connected to this tank, a balloon will inflate because the pressure inside the tank is greater than the atmospheric pressure pushing on the outside of the balloon. Assuming the balloon could expand indefinitely and never burst, the pressure would eventually equalize causing the balloon to stop inflating. What would the volume of the balloon be when this happens?
Assume atmospheric pressure is 1.00 atm. Also assume ideal behavior and constant temperature.
v= L

- A balloon taken out of a freezer is going to expand. The amount of a gas inside the balloon remains the same, and the atmospheric pressure inside and outside the freezer is the same. Explain this phenomenon using gas laws.arrow_forwardA weather balloon is inflated to a volume of 28.5 L at a pressure of 748 mm Hg and a temperature of 28.0 oC. The balloon rises where the pressure is 385 mm Hg and the temperature is 15.0 oC. Assuming the balloon can freely expand, calculate the volume of the balloon in liters.arrow_forwardA sample of an ideal gas initially has a pressure of 0.775 atm at a temperature of 21.5°C. If the temperature of the gas increases to 97.5°C while volume is kept constant, what is the new pressure of the gas?arrow_forward
- A weather balloon filled with helium has a volume of 106.0 liters when the temperature is 28.5 °C and the pressure is 765.6 torr. The balloon rises in the atmosphere to an altitude where the temperature is 9.2 °C and the pressure is 662.4 torr? What is the new volume of the balloon?arrow_forwardA balloon is inflated to a volume of 8.5 L on a day when the atmospheric pressure is 765 mmHg. The next day, as a storm front arrives, the atmospheric pressure drops to 737 mmHg. Assuming the temperature remains constant, what is the new volume of the balloon, in liters?arrow_forwardA balloon is filled to a volume of 9.30L at a temperature of 27.1°C. If the pressure in the balloon is measured to be 2.20 atm, how many moles of gas are contained inside the balloon?arrow_forward
- A balloon of volume 100.2 L contains a gas at a temperature of 22.0°C and pressure of 0.981 atm. This balloon is released, travels upward in the atmosphere, and passes over the top of Pikes Peak. At the top of Pikes Peak the temperature is 1.24°C and the balloon has expanded to 144.5 L. What is the pressure of the gas inside the balloon as as it clears the top of America’s Mountain?arrow_forwardA 7.8-g piece of solid carbon dioxide is placed in a 4.0-L container that has an air pressure of 740. torr and a temperature of 355 K. What is the pressure (torr) in the container after all the carbon dioxide vaporizes? Enter your answer as an integer.arrow_forwardA balloon is filled to a total pressure of 1.35 atm and a volume of 1.52 L at 37 °C. The balloon is then heated to 144 °C at a constant pressure. What is the new volume of the balloon? Do not include units in your answer.arrow_forward
