On the surface of the earth at 1 atm pressure, a balloon filled with H_(2) gas occupies 500mL. This volume is (5)/(6) of its maximum capacity. The balloon is left in air. It starts rising. The height above which the balloon will burst if temperature of the atmospere remains constant and the pressure decreases 1 mm for every 100cm rise of height is:

A balloon containing 1 mole air at 1 atm initially is filled further with air till pressure increases to 4 atm. The intial diameter of the ballon is 1 m and the pressure at each stage is proportional to diameter of the balloon. How many moles of air added to change the pressure from 1 atm to 4 atm.

Two hydrogen gas balloons having the same pressure and whose volumes are in the ratio of 1:2 , resoectively, are relased simultaneously into air on the surface of the Earth. Find the ratio of time taken to reach a height of 100 m from the ground. (Neglect the air friction)

In a mercury barometer, at sea level, the normal pressure of the air (one atmosphere) acting on the mercury in the dish supports a 76 cm column of mercury in a closed tube. If you go up in the air, until the density has fallen to half its sea level value, what height of mercury column would you expect?

What would be the height of the atmosphere if the air density (a) were uniform and (b) decreased linearly to zero with height? Assume that at sea level the air pressure is 1.0 atm and the air density is 1.3 kg/ m^(3)

An inflated ballon has a volume of 0.55 L at sea level (1.0 atm) and is allowed to rise to a height of 6.5 km , where the pressure is about 0.40 atm . Assuming that the temperature remains constant , what is the final volume of the ballon ? Strategy : We know the volume at one pressure and want to know the volume at another pressure keeping temperature constant. This suggests the use of Boyle's law. We tabulate what is known and what is asked for and then solve Boyle's law equation for the unknown quantitu V_(2) .
