Interpretation:
The number of balloons which can be filled by the helium gas should be determined if each balloon has a volume of
Concept Introduction:
Different laws have been put forward to introduce properties of gases:
Boyle’s law:
At fixed temperature, the volume of a fixed amount of gas is inversely proportional to the pressure exerted by the gas.
Charles law: States that volume is directly proportional to temperature when the gas is held
at constant pressure and number of molecules.

- A 40.0L balloon is filled with air at sea level (1.00 atm, 25.0°C). It is tied to a rock and thrown in a cold body of water, and it sinks to the point where the temperature is 4.0°C and the pressure is 11.0 atm.

What is the partial pressure of dry air in our lungs when the total pressure is 760 Torr?arrow_forwardA mouse is placed in a sealed chamber with air at 754.0 torr. This chamber is equipped with enough solid KOH to absorb any CO2 and H2O produced by the mouse. The gas volume in this chamber is measured to be exactly 2.00 L, the temperature is held constant at 295 K. After two hours the pressure inside the bottle falls to 717.4 torr. What mass of oxygen has the mouse consumed?arrow_forwardDetermine and report the pressure of collected hydrogen gas in atmospheres. Report this result to one more digit than allowed by applying the rules of significant figures. (1 atm = 760 mm Hg, an exact conversion factor.) Determine the moles of hydrogen collected by substituting the appropriate quantities into the ideal gas equation and solving. Report this result to one more digit than allowed by applying the rules of significant figures. Notes: the gas temperature is the same as the listed temperature; R = 0.082057 L-atm/mol-K. Be mindful of units. Determine the experimental atomic mass of Cu. Round this result to the correct number of significant figures.

It is also used medically as a breathing treatment. A 5.25 L tank holds helium gas at a pressure of 1734 psi. A second 5.25 L tank holds oxygen at a pressure of 461.0 psi. The two gases are mixed in a 5.25 L tank. If the temperature remains the same throughout the process, what is the pressure of the gas mixture in the tank? Assume ideal gas behavior.arrow_forward
