What must be the volume of a balloon that can hold 313.0 g of helium gas and ascend from sea level to an altitude, where the temperature is 10.00C and the pressure is 635.4 mmHg?

Respuesta :

Answer: The volume of a balloon that can hold 313.0 g of helium gas is 2174 L

Explanation:

According to ideal gas equation:

[tex]PV=nRT[/tex]

P = pressure of gas = 635.4 mmHg = 0.8360 atm  (760mmHg=1 atm)

V = Volume of gas = ?

n = number of moles = [tex]\frac{\text {given mass}}{\text {Molar mass}}=\frac{313.0g}{4g/mol}=78.25mol[/tex]

R = gas constant =[tex]0.0821Latm/Kmol[/tex]

T =temperature =[tex]10.00^0C=(10.00+273)K=283.00K[/tex]

[tex]V=\frac{nRT}{P}[/tex]

[tex]V=\frac{78.25mol\times 0.0820 Latm/K mol\times 283.00K}{0.8360atm}=2174L[/tex]

Thus volume of a balloon that can hold 313.0 g of helium gas is 2174 L
