The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we will use the Ideal Gas Law and the relationship between weight and temperature. Here's a step-by-step solution: ### Step 1: Convert temperatures from Celsius to Kelvin - For winter: \( T_w = 7^\circ C = 7 + 273 = 280 \, K \) - For summer: \( T_s = 37^\circ C = 37 + 273 = 310 \, K \) ### Step 2: Write the Ideal Gas Law The Ideal Gas Law is given by: \[ PV = nRT \] Where: - \( P \) = pressure - \( V \) = volume - \( n \) = number of moles - \( R \) = universal gas constant - \( T \) = temperature in Kelvin ### Step 3: Relate weight to number of moles The weight \( W \) of the air can be expressed in terms of the number of moles: \[ W = n \cdot M \] Where \( M \) is the molar mass of air. Thus, we can rewrite the Ideal Gas Law as: \[ PV = \frac{W}{M} RT \] From this, we can isolate \( W \): \[ W = \frac{PVM}{RT} \] ### Step 4: Establish the relationship between weight and temperature Since the pressure \( P \) and volume \( V \) are constant for both winter and summer, we can say: \[ W \propto \frac{1}{T} \] This means that the weight of air is inversely proportional to the temperature. ### Step 5: Calculate the ratio of weights We want to find the ratio of the weight of air in winter to the weight of air in summer: \[ \frac{W_w}{W_s} = \frac{T_s}{T_w} \] Substituting the values we found: \[ \frac{W_w}{W_s} = \frac{T_s}{T_w} = \frac{310 \, K}{280 \, K} \] ### Step 6: Simplify the ratio Calculating the ratio: \[ \frac{W_w}{W_s} = \frac{310}{280} = \frac{31}{28} \approx 1.107 \] ### Conclusion Thus, the ratio of the weight of the air filled in winter to that in summer is approximately \( 1.1 \).
