Question:

In order for a gas-filled balloon to rise in air, the density of the gas in the balloon must be less than that of air.

(a) Consider air to have a molar mass of 28.96 g/mol; determine the density of air at 25 °C and 1.00 atm, in g/L.

(b) Show by calculation that a balloon filled with carbon dioxide at 25 °C and 1 atm could not be expected to rise in air at 25 °C.
