Two weather balloons are at the same height in the clouds, at 21 °C and 0.92 atm of pressure. One balloon has a volume of 75 Liters and the other balloon has a
volume of 29.8 liters. The larger balloon holds 4.4 moles of gas. How many moles
of gas does the smaller balloon hold? NOTE: You must show your calculation on
the attached scratch paper, including which of the Gas Law formulas you used. *

answer : (a) volume of the gas = 8.67 ×   l

                (b) second virial coefficient b = -1.21226 l/mole

solution :   given,     t = 300k

                                p = 20atm

                                z = 0.86

                                n = 8.2 mmoles = 8.2 × moles

                                r =   0.082 l atm/k/mol

        find,     (a) volume of gas   and (b) second virial coefficient b at 300k.

formula used :            

                          and            

(a)            

                    = \times 0.082\times 300}{20}[/tex]

                    = 8.67 ×   l

(b)      

                    = (0.00867-1) × 8.659

                    = - 8.5839 l/mole
