A balloon contains 10 g of Hz gas. What additional weight of argon gas ( at. Wt 40) must be added so that the balloon will have exactly zero buoyancy (i.e. so that its weight will be equal to that of an equal volume of surrounding air)? Assume ideal gas behavior; neglect the weight of the balloon itself and assume it to be impermeable and perfectly elastic. Average molecular weight of air is 29.

The air inside an inflatable stand-up paddle board is 72.0°F. A gauge measures the pressure of this air to be 11.0 psi. If someone naps on the board in the sun, so that the volume of the air inside is reduced by 11% and the temperature increases to 102°F, what is the final gauge pressure of this air, in psi? Pressure unit conversion: 1.00 psi = 0.0680 atm a.) This problem requires use of the ideal gas law, which can be expressed separately for the two relevant snapshots in time. What is the ideal gas law? [Consider: Which variables will not change between the two snapshots in time, that is between the initial and final states?] b.) Only absolute values are used in the ideal gas law: absolute temperature, absolute volume, and absolute pressure. (Absolute means that a zero value is a true zero temp/pressure/volume.) Convert the initial and final temperature values (Ti (°F) and 102°F, respectively) along with the initial gauge pressure (Pi (psi)) into absolute temperature and absolute…
