P1A.12* Balloons are still used to deploy sensors that monitor meteorological phenomena and the chemistry of the atmosphere. It is possible to investigate some of the technicalities of ballooning by using the perfect gas law. Suppose your balloon has a radius of 3.0 m and that it is spherical. (a) What amount of H₂ (in moles) is needed to inflate it to 1.0 atm in an ambient temperature of 25 °C at sea level? (b) What mass can the balloon lift (the payload) at sea level, where the mass density of air is 1.22 kg m³? (c) What would be the payload if He were used instead of H₂?

73. A 500.-mL sample of O2 gas at 24 °C was prepared by decomposing a 3% aqueous solution of hydrogen peroxide, H2 O2, in the presence of a small amount of manganese catalyst by the reaction 2H2 O2 (aq) → 2H2O (g) + The oxygen thus prepared was collected by displacement of water.
