A hot air balloon works because the ciensity or not air is less than the surrounding cold air.
(a) The volume of a hot air balloon is 2500m3 and its mass is 250kg(without passengers). The temperature of the air in the balloong
Density of air at 20C=1.21kgm-3
Awerage relative molecular mass of air =29gmol-1
(i) Calculate the volume of 1kg of at 20C.
(ii) Calculate the volume of 1kg of air at 100C and hence show they the density of air at 100C is 0.95kgm-3.
(iii) Calculate the mass of hot air in the balloon.
(iv) Calculate the mass of cold air displaced by the balloon.
(v) Determine whether the balloon will leave the ground or not.
b)(i) Calculate the average velocity of air molecules in the balloon (assume the molecules behave as spheres).
(ii) Calculate the number of moles in the balloon.
(iii) Calculate the internal energy contained by the hot gas
