Problem 7: Suppose a table tennis ball has a diameter of 3.95 cm. Calculate the depth, in kilometers, to which Avogadro’s number of table tennis balls would cover the Earth. Assume the space between balls adds an extra 25.0% to their volume and assume they are not crushed by their own weight. The radius of Earth is 6.376 × 106 m.
Suppose you have a closed rigid container of air at 20 Celsius on the surface of the Earth. We change the temperature of the container to 48 Celsius, leaving it closed, and read a pressure gauge attached to the container. Initially the reading was 101 KPa (kilopascals, or 1000 N/m2). What is the new reading? Give your answer in KPa.
Jason wants to use a Pilates ball as a desk chair. The Pilates ball has a diameter of 65cm, and is filled to a recommended air pressure of 0.9 PSI. What is the average force of the air inisde the Pilates ball pushing out? If the ball is filled with carbon dioxide (CO2) at 22 degrees C, how many molecules of CO2 are in the ball? (Area of a sphere = 4pir^2, Volume of a sphere = 4/3pir^3)
There are 1.5 times as many molecules as Avogadro's number at a temperature of 2.1°C inside a sealed cube with dimensions 3.0 cm ✕ 3.0 cm ✕ 3.0 cm. How much force does the gas exert on one of the walls of the cube?
Suppose you have a large hot air balloon, open at the bottom but filled with air that is heated to 50 °C while the outside air is 10 °C. What can you say about the air inside the balloon and how much it can lift? The density of air is surprisingly high: 1.23 kg/m3, an average hot air balloon has a volume of 3000 m3 , and the acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s2. The density is higher by the factor (273 + 50)/(273+10) = 1.14 and therefore will not have a buoyant force and will not lift off the ground with any load. The density is lower by the factor (273 + 10)/(273+50) = 0.88 and therefore will have a buoyant force of 0.88 times the weight of the air it replaced, or about 32,000 N. The density is lower by the factor (273 + 10)/(273+50) = 0.88 and therefore will have a buoyant force of 0.12 times the weight of the air it replaced, or about 4300 N. The density is the same but the pressure of the hot air is higher by (273 + 50)/(273+10) =…

A high-altitude balloon is partially filled with 3 m3 of helium at sea level. As the balloon ascends through the atmosphere, the pressure drops and the gas expands. When it reaches its maximum volume of 7 m3, what is the pressure? (Assume the temperature does not change.)
A balloon is filled with helium gas at atmospheric pressure (1 atm) until its volume is 800 m³. The helium gas is then transferred to cylinders that have a volume of 2.3 m³ at a pres- sure of 13.3 atm. Calculate the number of cylinders used. Assume that the temperature of the helium gas remains constant. (1 atm = 1.013 × 105 Pa).
During an all-night cram session, a student heats up a 0.807 liter (0.807 x 10- 3 m3) glass (Pyrex) beaker of cold coffee. Initially, the temperature is 15.5 °C, and the beaker is filled to the brim. A short time later when the student returns, the temperature has risen to 98.0 °C. The coefficient of volume expansion of coffee is the same as that of water. How much coffee (in cubic meters) has spilled out of the beaker?
A hot air balloon uses the principle of buoyancy to create lift. By making the air inside the balloon less dense then the surrounding air, the balloon is able to lift objects many times its own weight. A large hot air balloon has a maximum balloon volume of 2090 m3. a. If the air temperature in the balloon is 54 °C, how much additional mass, in kilograms, can the balloon lift? Assume the molar mass of air is 28.97 g/mol, the air density is 1.20 kg/m3, and the air pressure is 1 atm.
