A gas-filled balloon having a volume of 3.50 L at 1.20 atm and 18°C is allowed to rise to the stratosphere (about 30 km above the surface of the Earth), where the temperature and pressure are −45°C and 5.70 × 10−3 atm, respectively. Calculate the final volume of the balloon.

Answer:

620.71 L the final volume of the balloon.

Explanation:

Initial volume of the gas in the balloon= [tex]V_1=3.50 L[/tex]

Initial pressure of the gas in the balloon= [tex]P_1=1.20 atm[/tex]

Initial temperature of the gas in the balloon= [tex]T_1=18^oC =291.15 K[/tex]

Moles of gases = n

[tex]n=\frac{P_1V_1}{RT_1}[/tex]...[1]

Final volume of the gas in the balloon = [tex]V_2=3.50 L[/tex]

Final pressure of the gas in the balloon = [tex]P_2=5.70\times 10^{-3} atm[/tex]

Final temperature of the gas in the balloon = [tex]T_2=-45^oC =228.15 K[/tex]

Moles of gases = n

[tex]n=\frac{P_2V_2}{RT_2}[/tex]...[2]

[1]  =  [2]

[tex]\frac{P_2V_2}{RT_2}=\frac{P_1V_1}{RT_1}[/tex]

[tex]V_2=\frac{P_1V_1\times T_2}{T_1\times P_2}[/tex]

[tex]V_2=\frac{1.29 atm \times 3.50 L\times 228.15 K}{5.70\times 10^{-3} atm\times 291.15 K}=620.71 L[/tex]

620.71 L the final volume of the balloon.
