Chapter 5, Problem 5.34PAE

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The maximum number of balloons that can be inflated has to be calculated

Concept Introduction:

• An ideal gas has is a hypothetical gas that is formed by a few molecules so that, its density is low, and the intermolecular forces are null. The model of gas facilitates mathematical calculations to study gases.
• The ideal gas law can be expressed in the following way,
$\text{P x V= n x R x T}$

Where P is the gas pressure (atm), V is the gas volume (L), T is the gas absolute temperature (K), n is the moles number of the gas and R is the ideal gas constant ( $\text{R=0}\text{.082 }\frac{\text{atm L}}{\text{K mol}}$ ).

• In the STP conditions, the temperature is 273 K and the pressure is 1 atm.
