Hot air balloons are open at their lower and end. A basket is suspended from the balloon and can take several passengers as well as the pilot. A propane burner fixed to the basket is used to heat up the air in the balloon A hot balloon has a volume of 1500 m3 and its volume does not change when the enclosed air is heated. 1) Use the ideal gas equation, pV=nRT. to calculate how many molecules of the balloon contains at a temperature of 10 °C and a pressure 10.1 KP.
2) Calculate the mass of air it contains, assuming an average M of 29.

using pv=nRt

Explanation:

p= 10.1 kp

v= 1500m3

n=?

R= 8.314

T= 10 + 273= 283k

pv = nRt

10.1 *1500=n*8.314*283

n= 10.1*1500/8.314*283

n= 15150/2352.862

n= 6.44 moles

2) n= mass/ molar mass

6.44= mass/ 29

mass= 29* 6.44

mass= 186.76g

altitude, density, pressure

air gets less dense the higher the altitude and also the air pressure is less as altitude rises.

explanation:

the largest database of organic compounds lists about 10 million substances, which include compounds originating from living organisms and those synthesized by chemists. the number of potential organic compounds has been estimated at 1060—an astronomically high number. the existence of so many organic molecules is a consequence of the ability of carbon atoms to form up to four strong bonds to other carbon atoms, resulting in chains and rings of many different sizes, shapes, and complexities. the simplest organic compounds contain only the elements carbon and hydrogen, and are called hydrocarbons. even though they are composed of only two types of atoms, there is a wide variety of hydrocarbons because they may consist of varying lengths of chains, branched chains, and rings of carbon atoms, or combinations of these structures. in addition, hydrocarbons may differ in the types of carbon-carbon bonds present in their molecules. many hydrocarbons are found in plants, animals, and their fossils; other hydrocarbons have been prepared in the laboratory. we use hydrocarbons every day, mainly as fuels, such as natural gas, acetylene, propane, butane, and the principal components of gasoline, diesel fuel, and heating oil. the familiar plastics polyethylene, polypropylene, and polystyrene are also hydrocarbons. we can distinguish several types of hydrocarbons by differences in the bonding between carbon atoms. this leads to differences in geometries and in the hybridization of the carbon orbitals.
