Hot air balloons work by changing the density of the air within the balloon, which causes the balloon to rise. A new hot air balloon has a capacity of 218000 L and a maximum operating temperature of 120.0 °C. At its maximum temperature, the pressure in the balloon is 1.24 atm.

a. Calculate the moles of air within the balloon at its maximum temperature and pressure.


b. Calculate the density (in g/L) of the air in the balloon at its maximum temperature,
assuming the molar mass of air is 28.97g/mol.


c. Calculate the partial pressure of nitrogen in the balloon, assuming that air is 78% nitrogen.


d. Calculate the root-mean-square speed (Vrms) of the N2 molecules in the balloon.


e. Do you expect the O2 molecules to have a faster or slower Vrms than N2? Justify your answer with one or two complete sentances.
