You are going to complete several meteorological tests using a large weather balloon. You wish to check the temperature at 3000 meters altitude. You want to make sure the balloon will not burst before it reaches that height. Some calculations are needed. The balloon manufacturer guarantees the balloon up to 47.0 Liters in size. Will the balloon make it to the necessary height without bursting? The temperature at ground level is 20 C. The pressure is 765 mmHg. The volume of the balloon prior to release is 30.0 Liters. It is filled with helium, which is lighter than air. For both calculations you will be using PV =nRT. Show all work for any credit. 1. Calculate the amount in grams of helium in the balloon. Hint remember n = moles 2. Can the balloon ascend to 3000 meters without bursting? The temperature and pressure at 3000 meters was measured at Temp = 6.0 C, Pressure = .565 atm For both calculations you will be using PV =nRT. Show all work for any credit.

Question 1: You cannot make sure the ballon will not burst before it reaches 3,000m altitude because the volume will exceed 47.0 litersQuestion 2: 5.0 g

Explanation:

1. Data

Maximum volume of the balloon: 47.0 liters

At 3,000 m:

Temperature at 3,000 m, T₁: 6.0ºCPressure at 3,000m, P₁: 0.565atmVolume, V₁ = ?

At ground:

Temperature at ground, T₂: 20ºCPressure at ground, P₂: 765mmHgVolume at ground, V₂: 30.0 liters

Questions:

Will the balloon's volume be more than 47.0 liter?Amount in grams of helium in the ballon:?

2. Unit conversions:

a) Convert P₂ to atm:

P₂ = 765mmHg × 1 atm/760.0mmHg = 1.00657895atm

b) Convert the temperatures to kelvin:

T₁ = 6.0 + 273.15 = 279.15KT₂ = 20 + 273.15 = 293.15K

3. Solution

Question 1.

Calculate the final volume of the balloon:

Since the number of moles of helium gas inside the balloon remains unchanged, pV = nRT yields the combined gas law:

$\dfrac{P_1V_1}{T_1}=\dfrac{P_2V_2}{T_2}$

From which you can solve for V₁ and compute it:

$V_1=\dfrac{P_2V_2T_1}{P_1T_2}$

$V_1=\dfrac{1.00657895atm\cdot 30.0liter\cdot 279.15K}{0.565atm\cdot 293.15K}$

$V_1\approx51liters$

Then, the volume of the balloon will exceed the gurantee of the manufacturer.

Question 2.

a) Calculate the number of moles of helium

pV=nRT

$n=\dfrac{pV}{RT}$

$n=\dfrac{1.00657895atm\times 30.0liter}{0.08206atm\cdot liter/(K\cdot mol)\times 293.15K}$

n=1.2558mol

b) Calculate the mass in grams of helium

Use the atomic mass of helium: 4.003g/mol

mass = number of moles × molar massmass = 1.2558mol × 4.003g/mol = 5.02g

Rounding to 2 significant figures: 5.0g

Answer from: Quest

a high pressure system is a dense air mass that is usually cooler and drier than the surrounding air. a low pressure system is a less dense air mass that is usually wetter and warmer than the surrounding air.

in general, areas that experience high atmospheric pressure also experience fair weather. low pressure systems can cause the formation of clouds and storms. air usually flows from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure..
