Chapter 6 Problem 6.84

Question

A balloonist is preparing to make a trip in a helium-filled balloon. The trip begins in early morning when the temperature is 15 C. By midafternoon, the temperature has increased to 30. C.Assuming the pressure remains constant at 1.00 atm, for each mole of helium, calculate: (a) The initial and final volumes. (b) The change in internal energy, E [Hint: Helium behaves like an ideal gas, so . Be sure the units of R are consistent with those of E]. (c) The work (w) done by the helium (in J). (d) The heat (q) transferred (in J). (e) H for the process (in J). (f) Explain the relationship between the answers to (d) and (e).

Solution

Step 1 of 6)

The first step in solving 6 problem number 84 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: A balloonist is preparing to make a trip in a helium-filled balloon. The trip begins in early morning when the temperature is 15 C. By midafternoon, the temperature has increased to 30. C.Assuming the pressure remains constant at 1.00 atm, for each mole of helium, calculate: (a) The initial and final volumes. (b) The change in internal energy, E [Hint: Helium behaves like an ideal gas, so . Be sure the units of R are consistent with those of E]. (c) The work (w) done by the helium (in J). (d) The heat (q) transferred (in J). (e) H for the process (in J). (f) Explain the relationship between the answers to (d) and (e).
From the textbook chapter Thermochemistry: Energy Flow and Chemical Change you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
