A 1.2 L weather balloon on the ground has a temperature of 25°C and is at atmospheric pressure (1.0 atm). When it rises to an elevation where the pressure is 0.73 atm, then the new volume is 1.8 L. What is the temperature (in °C) of the air at this elevation?

The temperature of the air at this given elevation will be 53.32425°C

Explanation:

We can calculate the final temperature through the combined gas law. Therefore we will need to know 1 ) The initial volume, 2 ) The initial temperature, 3 ) Initial Pressure, 4 ) Final Volume, 5 ) Final Pressure.

Initial Volume = 1.2 L ; Initial Temperature = 25°C = 298.15 K ; Initial pressure = 1.0 atm  ; Final Volume = 1.8 L ; Final pressure = 0.73 atm  

We have all the information we need. Now let us substitute into the following formula, and solve for the final temperature ( T ),

PV / T = PV / T,

T = PVT / PV,

T = 0.73 atm 1.8 L 298.15 K / 1 atm 1.2 L = ( 0.73 1.8 298.15 / 1 1.2 ) K = 326.47425 K,

T = 326.47425 K = 53.32425 C

adding or remove a gaseous reactant or product changes the concentrations. if the concentration of reactant or product is increased, the system will shift away from the side in which concentration was increased (i.e. if the concentration of reactants is increased, the system will shift toward the products. if more products are added, the system will shift to form more reactants). conversely, if the concentration of reactant or product is decreased, the system will shift toward the side in which concentration was decreased (i.e. if reactants are removed, the system will shift to form more reactants. if the concentration of products is decreased, the equilibrium will shift toward the products).
