Two balloon are filled with equal moles ...

Two balloon are filled with equal moles of hydrogen and helium. Which balloon will contract first if holes of same size are made in them?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The balloon filled with hydrogen gas will contract first
`(r_(H_(2)))/(r_(He))=sqrt((M_(He))/(M_(H_(2))))`
Since the molecular mass of hydrogen is less, it will diffuse faster than helium.

A conducting bolloon of the radius a is charged to potential V_(0) and held at a large height above the earth ensures that charge distribution on the surface of the balloon remains unaffected by the presence of the earth. It is connected to the earth through a resistance R and a value in the balloon is opened . The gas inside the balloon escapes from value and the size of the balloon decreases. The rate of decrease in radius of the balloon is controlled in such a manner that potential of the balloon remains constant. Assume the electric permittivity of the surrounding air equals to that of free space (epsilon_(0)) and charge cannot leak to the surrounding air. The rate at which radius r of the balloon changes with time is best represented by the equation

Helium is used in gas balloons instead of hydrogen because
