Problem 39P
The air in a hot-air balloon at 744 torr is heated from 17°C to 60.0°C. Assuming that the moles of air and the pressure remain constant, what is the density of the air at each temperature? (The average molar mass of air is 28.8 g/mol.)
ANSWER:
Solution 39P
Here we have to calculate the density of the air at each given temperature i.e 17oC and 60oC.
Step 1
Given:
Pressure of balloon = 744 torr, 1 torr = 0.00132 atm, then 744 torr will be equal to,
744 torr = 0.982 atm
