Interpretation: The balloon that has greater volume amongst oxygen,
Concept Introduction: The expression relating the pressure, P, volume, V with number of moles, n and temperature, T of an ideal gas is:
Where R is Universal gas constant.
Answer to Problem 7E
The two balloons have an equal volume.
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Temperature =
Pressure =
Mass of oxygen,
Mass of helium,
Converting the temperature from degree Celsius to Kelvin:
The molar mass of gas oxygen,
Number of moles of oxygen,
- :
Number of moles of helium,
- :
Now, in order to determine the volume of each gas, the equation (1) is rearranged as:
Using above equation, the volume of each gas is calculated as:
Volume of oxygen,
- :
Volume of helium,
- :
Hence, the two balloons have an equal volume.
The volume occupied by two gases is same.
