How many 3-liter balloons could the 12-L helium tank pressurized to 160 atm fill? Keep in mind that an "exhausted" helium tank i

s not empty. In other words, once the gas inside the tank reaches atmospheric pressure, it will no longer be able to fill balloons. Express the number of balloons to three significant figures.

Answer:

The 12L helium tank pressurized to 160 atm will fill <em>636 </em>3-liter balloons

Explanation:

It is possible to answer this question using Boyle's law:

$P_1V_1=P_2V_2$

Where P₁ is the pressure of the tank (160atm), V₁ is the volume of the tank (12L), P₂ is the pressure of the balloons (1atm, atmospheric pressure) And V₂ is the volume this gas will occupy at 1 atm, thus:

160atm×12L = 1atm×V₂

V₂ = 1920L

As the tank will never be empty, the volume of the gas able to fill balloons is the total volume minus 12L, thus the volume of helium able to fill balloons is:

1920L - 12L = 1908L

1908L will fill:

1908L× $\frac{1balloon}{3L}$ = <em>636 balloons</em>

I hope it helps!

A frictionless piston cylinder device is subjected to 1.013 bar external pressure. The piston mass is 200 kg, it has an area of

Bad White [126]

Answer:

a) $T_{2} = 360.955\,K$ , $P_{2} = 138569.171\,Pa\,(1.386\,bar)$ , b) $T_{2} = 347.348\,K$ , $V_{2} = 0.14\,m^{3}$

Explanation:

a) The ideal gas is experimenting an isocoric process and the following relationship is used:

$\frac{T_{1}}{P_{1}} = \frac{T_{2}}{P_{2}}$

Final temperature is cleared from this expression:

$Q = n\cdot \bar c_{v}\cdot (T_{2}-T_{1})$

$T_{2} = T_{1} + \frac{Q}{n\cdot \bar c_{v}}$

The number of moles of the ideal gas is:

$n = \frac{P_{1}\cdot V_{1}}{R_{u}\cdot T_{1}}$

$n = \frac{\left(101,325\,Pa + \frac{(200\,kg)\cdot (9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} )}{0.15\,m^{2}} \right)\cdot (0.12\,m^{3})}{(8.314\,\frac{Pa\cdot m^{3}}{mol\cdot K} )\cdot (298\,K)}$

$n = 5.541\,mol$

The final temperature is:

$T_{2} = 298\,K +\frac{10,500\,J}{(5.541\,mol)\cdot (30.1\,\frac{J}{mol\cdot K} )}$

$T_{2} = 360.955\,K$

The final pressure is:

$P_{2} = \frac{T_{2}}{T_{1}}\cdot P_{1}$

$P_{2} = \frac{360.955\,K}{298\,K}\cdot \left(101,325\,Pa + \frac{(200\,kg)\cdot (9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} )}{0.15\,m^{2}}\right)$

$P_{2} = 138569.171\,Pa\,(1.386\,bar)$

b) The ideal gas is experimenting an isobaric process and the following relationship is used:

$\frac{T_{1}}{V_{1}} = \frac{T_{2}}{V_{2}}$

Final temperature is cleared from this expression:

$Q = n\cdot \bar c_{p}\cdot (T_{2}-T_{1})$

$T_{2} = T_{1} + \frac{Q}{n\cdot \bar c_{p}}$

$T_{2} = 298\,K +\frac{10,500\,J}{(5.541\,mol)\cdot (38.4\,\frac{J}{mol\cdot K} )}$

$T_{2} = 347.348\,K$

The final volume is:

$V_{2} = \frac{T_{2}}{T_{1}}\cdot V_{1}$

$V_{2} = \frac{347.348\,K}{298\,K}\cdot (0.12\,m^{3})$

$V_{2} = 0.14\,m^{3}$

A sample of gold has a mass of 15.7 g and displaces 0.81 cm3 of eater in a graduated cylinder. What is the density of gold?

Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer: 19.4 g/cm3

Explanation: density is the relationship between mass over volume.

So density of gold is 15.7g/0.81cm3 = 19.4 g/cm3

Why is sodium metal (very soft and can cut easily) stored under oil?

ioda

Sodium is a very reactive metal. It is kept in kerosene to prevent it from coming in contact with oxygen and moisture. If this happens, it will react with the moisture present in air and form sodium hydroxide.
