Concept explainers
Interpretation: Comprehend the condition of an inflated balloon in space.
Concept Introduction: Matter can exist in three possible
Solids are the substances with least intermolecular distance and strongest intermolecular forces whereas gases have largest intermolecular distance and weakest intermolecular forces. Liquids have intermediate value of intermolecular distance and intermolecular forces.
These states of matter can interconvert into each other and is called as interconversion of states of matter.
Answer to Problem 3E
In space there is no outside pressure for an inflate balloon therefore the inside pressure will be too high that can burst the balloon.
Explanation of Solution
Air is also a mixture of gases as it comprised of different gases like nitrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide, nitrogen, etc. Due to random movement of gas particles, they collide with other gas particles and also collide with wall of container. The collision between gas particles of air and wall of container exert pressure on the wall of container.
In atmospheric pressure, the inside pressure is equal to the outside atmospheric pressure therefore it remains balance and balloon will burst.
In space there is no outside pressure for an inflate balloon, therefore, the inside pressure will be too high that can burst the balloon.
