Interpretation:
Thevolume of a weather balloon at specific height is to be predicted.
Concept introduction:
It can be predicted with the help of combined
Answer to Problem 16SSC
The value of pressure and temperature at the final altitude are required to be known to predict its volume. Combined gas law is used to calculate this volume.
Explanation of Solution
Ideal gas equation (combined gas law) helps to calculate volume of a gas at given temperature and pressure. According to this law,
Or
Where
As the initial pressure, temperature and volume are known, by knowing the final pressure and temperature, one can calculate volume at final stage using the formula:
Combined gas law helps to calculate one variable out of three(pressure, volume, temperature) if two are known.
