CHM 131 Lecture Notes - Lecture 9: Horse Length
Document Summary
= (mass of air displaced) = (density of air) Pv = (grams gas molar/ mass) rnt. Variables: buoyancy, pressure of gas in balloon (and outside) Pressure of gas in balloon (and outside) Temperature of gas in balloon (and outside) The weight of an empty balloon and an attached basket is 1405 pounds. The pilot of the balloon weights 174 lbs. The balloon was filled with helium to a pressure of 1. 10 atm at. When filled with helium, the diameter of the spherical balloon is. The density of dry air is 1. 18 g/l. It could be that this balloon is too heavy to get off the ground. If so, you must state that this is your conclusion, and show your calculations. Calculate the mass of the helium in the balloon. Mass of he = (4. 00 g/mol)(1. 10 atm (9. 7435x10^5 l)/ (0. 08206 latm/mol k)(296. 2 k) = 176, 400 g he or 388. 8 lbs he.
