A 44 L cylinder containing helium gas at a pressure of 43.1 atm is used to fill a weather balloon in order to lift equipment into the stratosphere. To what maximum pressure (in atm) could a 296 L balloon be filled

The value of maximum pressure the balloon could be filled = 6.40 atmosphere.

Explanation:

When helium from the cylinder is filled inside the balloon the heat & work

transfer is zero during the process. so from the first law of thermodynamics

change in internal energy is zero.

⇒ = 0

⇒ =

⇒ = ------------- (1)

Final temperature is equal to initial temperature.

Equation (1) can be written as

⇒ = -------------(2)

Initial volume = 44 L

Final volume = 296 L

Initial pressure = 43.1 atmosphere

Final pressure = we have to calculate

Put all the values in Equation (2) we get,

⇒ × 296 = 43.1 × 44  

⇒ = 6.40 atmosphere

This is the value of maximum pressure the balloon could be filled.

because of all the things that happen around the us, many people get into arguments which sadly could get physical, but we should actually make a change for that.
