Concept explainers
Interpretation:
On the basis of given conditions, the balloon should be bust or not is to be explained.
Concept introduction:
The ideal gases are those gases which obey the ideal gas equation and the ideal gas equation is written as
Where, P = pressure of the gas
V = Volume of the gas
R = Gas constant
T = temperature of the gas
Answer to Problem 58A
Yes, the balloon will bust because the volume at high altitude at a particular pressure is
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
The Pressure at sea level,
The Volume of the gas in the balloon at this pressure,
The Pressure at a particular aptitude,
Or,
Now according to the ideal gas equation for two conditions at a constant temperature
So, on comparing these equations to each other, we get
This volume is greater than the balloon’s capacity. So, the balloon will burst.
