Olympic cyclists fill their tires with helium to make them lighter. assume that the volume of the tire is 860 ml , that it is filled to a total pressure of 120 psi , and that the temperature is 26 ∘c. also, assume an average molar mass for air of 28.8 g/mol.

The difference in the mass = 7.0869 g

Explanation:

Pressure = 120 psi

The conversion of P(psi) to P(atm) is shown below:

So,  

Pressure = 120 / 14.696 atm = 8.16552 atm

Temperature = 26 °C

The conversion of T( °C) to T(K) is shown below:

T(K) = T( °C) + 273.15  

So,  

T₁ = (26 + 273.15) K = 299.15 K

Volume = 860 mL = 0.86 L (1 mL = 0.001 L)

Using ideal gas equation as:

PV=nRT

where,  

P is the pressure

V is the volume

n is the number of moles

T is the temperature  

R is Gas constant having value = 0.0821 L.atm/K.mol

Applying the equation as:

8.16552 atm × 0.86 L = n × 0.0821 L.atm/K.mol × 299.15 K  

⇒n = 0.2859 moles

Molar mass of air = 28.8 g/mol

Moles = Mass/Molar mass

Mass of air in the tire= Moles* Molar mass = 0.2859 moles  * 28.8 g/mol = 8.2339 g

Molar mass of helium = 4.0026 g/mol

Mass of helium in the tire = 0.2859 moles  * 4.0026 g/mol = 1.1443 g

The difference in the mass = 7.0869 g

i'm hoping this is like a multiple answer question. if it is then it would be, the location of the plants and also the height of the plants since one she wants to know where in her garden the chamomile grows best. but also to see which plants grew better in the location she also has to measure the plant itself. (if you can only choose one answer than it would be c).
