The balloon Spirit of Freedom, flown around the world by American Steve Fossett in 2002, contained 550,000 cubic feet of helium.

How much PΔV work was done by the balloon on the surrounding atmosphere, assuming atmospheric pressure was 1.00 atm while the balloon was being inflated?

Assuming the balloon initially has volume of 0 when deflated, the total P(deltaV) = (1.00 atm)(550,000 ft^3) = 550,000 atm-ft^3. To convert into work units, we can first convert ft^3 to L:
(550,000 atm-ft^3)(1 m/3.28 ft)^3
= (15,586.2 atm-m^3)
Then we convert to L:
(15,586.2 atm-m^3)(1000 L/m^3)
= 15,586,200 atm-L
Then we convert to J:
(15,586,200 atm-L)(101.325 J / 1 atm-L)
= 1.579 x 10^9 J

Which statement about gases is true? A. They are made up of particles that always move very slowly. B. They are made up of parti
rosijanka [135]

Answer: D. They are made up of hard spheres that are in random motion.

Explanation:

A gas is a <u>state of aggregation of matter</u> in which, under certain conditions of temperature and pressure, <u>its molecules interact weakly with each other, without forming molecular bonds</u>, adopting the shape and volume of the container that contains them and tending to separate everything possible because of its <u>high concentration of kinetic energy</u>.

The molecules of a gas are practically <u>free</u> and have the ability to be distributed throughout the space in which they are contained because <u>the gravitational forces and attraction between them are practically negligible</u> compared to the speed at which they move. .

Therefore, gas molecules do not travel specific trajectories or vibrate in a stationary position, instead <u>they move quickly and randomly through the entire space of the container that contains them.</u>

How many moles of n are in 0.187 g of n2o?
Ainat [17]

We know that the molar mass of N is 14 and O is 16, therefore the molar mass of N2O is:

molar mass N2O = 14 * 2 + 16 = 44 g/mol

 

The number of moles:

moles N2O = 0.187 / 44

moles N2O = 0.00425 mol

 

There are 2 moles of N per 1 mole of N2O hence:

moles N = 0.00425mol * 2

<span>moles N = 0.0085 mol</span>

How many grams are there in 7.5 X10^23 molecules of H2SO4?
mash [69]
<span>Avogadro's number represents the number of units in one mole of any substance. This has the value of 6.022 x 10^23 units / mole. This number can be used to convert the number of atoms or molecules into number of moles.

 </span><span>7.5 X10^23 molecules of H2SO4 ( 1 mol / 6.022x10^23 molecules ) (98.08 g / 1 mol ) = 122.15 grams H2SO4</span>

What is the entropy change of the system when 17.5 g of liquid benzene (c6h6) evaporates at the normal boiling point? the normal
Vika [28.1K]
<span>1 mole of benzene (78g) requires 30.8 kJ/ of heat, so 11.5g will need ..... (it's a proportion calculation.) Temperature does not change at BPt and is not relevant if the temp of the liquid is already at the BPt ne definition of entropy is qrev/T, where qrev is the heat added in reversible operation (for complicated reasons pertaining to heat as a path function) and T is the temperature at which this is done. Phase changes are particularly good examples for calculations of changes in entropy, since temperature will not change will the bonds of a state are being broken. The calculations required boils down to: 1) finding the moles of benzene given from molar mass. 2) multiplying that moles by the heat of vaporization. 3)diving the heat energy required by the temperature of boiling point.</span>
