(1) A spherical balloon with a diameter of 6 m is filled with helium at 20 oC

and 200 𝑘𝑃𝑎. Determine the mole number and the mass of the helium in

the balloon

(2) The pressure in an automobile tire depends on the temperature of the air

in the tire. When the air temperature is 25 oC, the pressure gage reads 210

𝑘𝑃𝑎. If the volume of the tire is 0.025 𝑚3, Determine the pressure in the tire

when the air temperature in the tire rises to 50 oC. Also, determine the

amount of air that must be bled off to restore pressure to its original value

at this temperature. Assume the atmospheric pressure to be 100 𝑘𝑃𝑎.

Solution

The absolute pressure in the tire is

T1 = 25 +273 = 298 K

T2 = 50 +273 = 323 K

Assume the tire volume is constant (also the mass)

to 101 𝑎𝑡𝑚.
