I just did the the experiment where you put anti acid tblets into water into a balloon and i have this one question and i literally asked my parents and they dont know what to do either "If each balloon is filled with carbon dioxide gas at 20 Celsius and 1 atmosphere, calculate the mass and the number of moles of carbon dioxide in each balloon at meximum inflation, use the ideal gas law in you calculation" I will medal:) i sure do need help. i dont understand this. @madirax

@damirax

OpenStudy (anonymous):

great this is better

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay i need help asap

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I know you need help

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so where do i even start?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what I will first do it right now so it is going to be scientific proofed

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I honestly dont trust you @damirax

OpenStudy (anonymous):

BEcause you are helping me or being serious and you are spelling things wrong

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay well are you gonna help me or not.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i expeact you to help me!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay well if you arent going to help just go away please

OpenStudy (anonymous):

How?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

just leave if you arent going to help

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you are wasting my time

OpenStudy (phi):

*** "If each balloon is filled with carbon dioxide gas at 20 Celsius and 1 atmosphere**** Do you know the Gas Law?

OpenStudy (phi):

*Ideal Gas Law

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Uhm i dont recall hearing or learning about it:( @phi

OpenStudy (phi):

Something tells me you are expected to know it https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas_laws#Combined_and_Ideal_Gas_Laws because I think that is what you use to solve this problem

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay so i need to do Pv=nRT? How? @phi

OpenStudy (phi):

**calculate the mass and the number of moles of carbon dioxide in each balloon at ** which of those variables do we have values for? which do we want to "solve for"? any guesses?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

nope im so confused haha im terribleee at this

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay but how would i know how much carbon diovide was in each balloon?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

all i was told to do was measure the circumference of each of the 3 balloons every minute

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@phi

OpenStudy (phi):

read what each of the variables stand for in the wikipedia article which of them do we know ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

we know the volume but not temperature becaause i wasnt told to take it @phi

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sorrry im so bad at this! thanks for actaully helping me! so what we need to find is mass and moles how do we find them?

OpenStudy (phi):

First you need to figure out what "parts" of the Ideal Gas Law equation you know Pv=nRT do you know P V ? n ? R ? T ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i know V for sure @phi

OpenStudy (phi):

you also know R because that is a constant that you look up

OpenStudy (sweetburger):

what other variable is given? you stated it in your initial question

OpenStudy (sweetburger):

what other two variables are given? you stated them in your initial question

OpenStudy (cuanchi):

20 Celsius and 1 atmosphere!!!!!
