Question

At a festival, spherical balloons with a radius of

350.cm

 are to be inflated with hot air and released. The air at the festival will have a temperature of 

25°C

 and must be heated to 

100°C

 to make the balloons float. 

1.00kg

 of butane 

C4H10

 fuel are available to be burned to heat the air. Calculate the maximum number of balloons that can be inflated with hot air.

 

Here are some data you may find useful:

 

Specific heat capacity of air: 1.009 J/g·°C

Density of air at 100°C: 0.946 kg/m3

Density of butane at 100°C: 1.898 kg/m3

Formation enthalpy of butane at 25°C: -125.7 kJ/mol
