the density of the air in the balloon?
It will increase.
It will remain the same.
It will decrease.

A typical cell has a diameter of 10 mm. The smallest mammals in the world, shrews, are about 10 μm across. Compute the diffusion time for oxygen molecules through water at 25°C for these two distances.arrow_forwardLarge helium-filled balloons are used to lift scientific equipment to high altitudes. a) What is the pressure, in atmospheres, inside such a balloon if it starts out at sea level with a pressure of one atmosphere and a temperature of 10.0°C and rises to an altitude where its volume is twenty times the original volume and its temperature is -49.5°C ? b) What is the gauge pressure, in atmospheres, in the balloon then? (Assume the atmospheric pressure is constant.)arrow_forward
- Amanda discovers that the gauge pressure in her car tires is 2.50 ×105 Pa at a temperature of 35.0oC. The average volume of a single tire at that temperature is 10.0 L. 1.) Find how many moles of gas (air) are in one of Steve’s tires. 2.) Later Amanda travels to a place where the temperature is –40.0oF. She notices that the tires are looking low and estimates that each tire has lost approximately 1.0 L of its volume. What is the gauge pressure in the tire now?arrow_forwardLiquids and solids have densities on the order of 1000 times greater than gases. Explain how this implies that the distances between molecules in gases are on the order of 10 times greater than the size of their molecules?arrow_forwardWhat is the mass of the helium gas in the previous problem? The molar mass of helium gas is 4.00 g/mol.arrow_forward
