The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Calculate the volume of balloon B and balloon C - The radius of balloon B (r_B) = 60 cm = 0.6 m - The radius of balloon C (r_C) = 30 cm = 0.3 m Using the formula for the volume of a sphere: \[ V = \frac{4}{3} \pi r^3 \] **Volume of balloon B (V_B):** \[ V_B = \frac{4}{3} \pi (0.6)^3 \] \[ V_B = \frac{4}{3} \pi (0.216) \] \[ V_B \approx 0.904 \, \text{m}^3 \] **Volume of balloon C (V_C):** \[ V_C = \frac{4}{3} \pi (0.3)^3 \] \[ V_C = \frac{4}{3} \pi (0.027) \] \[ V_C \approx 0.113 \, \text{m}^3 \] ### Step 2: Calculate the volume of gas in balloon B The volume of gas in balloon B is the volume of balloon B minus the volume of balloon C: \[ V_{gas} = V_B - V_C \] \[ V_{gas} = 0.904 - 0.113 \] \[ V_{gas} \approx 0.791 \, \text{m}^3 \] ### Step 3: Calculate the moles of H2 in the flask The mass of H2 given is 300 g. To find the number of moles (n), we use the formula: \[ n = \frac{mass}{molar \, mass} \] The molar mass of H2 = 2 g/mol: \[ n_{H2} = \frac{300 \, g}{2 \, g/mol} = 150 \, mol \] ### Step 4: Calculate the pressure of H2 in the flask Using the ideal gas law: \[ PV = nRT \] Where: - P = pressure - V = volume of the gas - n = number of moles - R = ideal gas constant (0.0821 L·atm/(K·mol)) - T = temperature in Kelvin (27°C = 300 K) The volume of the flask A: \[ V_A = \frac{4}{3} \pi (1)^3 \approx 4.18879 \, m^3 \] Now, substituting the values into the ideal gas law: \[ P_{H2} = \frac{nRT}{V_A} \] \[ P_{H2} = \frac{150 \times 0.0821 \times 300}{4.18879} \] Calculating this gives: \[ P_{H2} \approx 1.176 \, atm \] ### Step 5: Calculate the moles of nitrogen in balloon B Using the ideal gas law for balloon B: \[ n_{N2} = \frac{PV_{gas}}{RT} \] Where: - P = P_H2 (pressure of H2 in balloon B) - V = V_gas (volume of gas in balloon B) - R = 0.0821 L·atm/(K·mol) - T = 300 K Substituting the values: \[ n_{N2} = \frac{1.176 \times 0.791}{0.0821 \times 300} \] Calculating this gives: \[ n_{N2} \approx 0.031 \, mol \] ### Final Answer The moles of nitrogen in balloon B is approximately **0.031 mol**. ---
