Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The change in volume of the balloon has to be given when the balloon floats to a higher altitude.
Concept Introduction:
Boyle’s Law:
At constant temperature, the pressure and the volume of the gas are inversely related.
Where P is pressure of the gas at constant temperature.
V is volume of the gas at constant temperature.
K is the constant.
(b)
Interpretation:
The change in volume of the balloon has to be given when the balloon is placed in bath of liquid nitrogen at
Concept Introduction:
Gay Lussac’s Law:
At constant volume, the temperature and the pressure of the gas are proportionally related.
Where P is the pressure of the gas.
T is the temperature of the gas in Kelvin.
K is the constant.
The temperature or the pressure of the gas can be calculated using the relation,
Where
(c)
Interpretation:
The change in volume of the balloon has to be given when the balloon is placed in hyperbaric chamber.
Concept Introduction:
Refer to part (a).
(d)
Interpretation:

- What does “STP’ stand for? What conditions correspond to STP? What is the volume occupied by one mole of an ideal gas at STParrow_forwardA new boron hydride, BxHy, has been isolated. To find its molar mass, you measure the pressure of the gas in a known volume at a known temperature. The following experimental data are collected: Mass of gas = 12.5 mg Pressure of gas = 24.8 mm Hg Temperature = 25 C Volume of flask = 125 mL Which formula corresponds to the calculated molar mass? (a) B2H6 (b) B4H10 (c) B5H9 (d) B6H10 (e) Bl0H14arrow_forwardExplain how the volume of the bubbles exhausted by a scuba diver (Figure 9.16) change as they rise to the surface, assuming that they remain intact.arrow_forward
