The Goodyear blimps, which frequently fly over sporting events, hold approximately 1.65_105ft3 of helium.

If the gas is at 24_C and 1.0 atm, what mass of helium is in the blimp?

Respuesta :

Applying the ideal gas equation:
PV = nRT
PV = (mass/Mr)RT
mass = PVMr/RT
mass = (101325 x 4672.2 x 4) / (8.314 x 297)
= 766887.3 kg
= 7.7 x 10⁵ kg
