Best Answer

YES!!

However a better equation is ;_

P(1)V(1) / T(1) = P(2)V(2) / T(2)

The reason the temperature (T) inclusion is because temperature can vary with height.

Why do a weather balloon keep increasing in volume as it rises through the stratosphere?

As it goes higher, the atmospheric pressure decreases.


What will happen to a balloon's volume if its heated?

The kinetic energy of the particles inside the balloon increase. This then expands the volume of the balloon.


What will change the size of the weather balloon as it rises?

The pressure of the air inside it. The higher the balloon rises, the lower the outside air-pressure. With less pressure outside, the balloon expands because of the pressure of the air inside it. Eventually, the balloon bursts, and scientists recover the instruments when they fall to earth.

Why do weather balloons pop at certain altitudes?

As it rises up it goes into a region of lower pressure (pressure decreases in altitude) ans as it enters this region the gases in the balloon expand due to a thermodynamic relationship. Pressure and volume of the gas are related. PV= nRT (rearranged to P= nRT/V). So as it goes up in altitude the pressure goes down thus making the volume increase causing it to pop.


A helium-filled balloon occupies a volume of 15 cubic meters at sea level The balloon is released and raises to a point in the atmosphere where the pressure is 75 ATM What is its volume if the te?

75 atmospheres of pressure is 1125 pounds per square inch. A balloon would be unlikely to withstand this pressure.


Why are weather balloons partially infated before they're released into the atmosphere?

As you rise in elevation, the pressure around you decreases. This lower pressure would cause the balloon to expand, and burst if it was inflated to much originally. By starting it off only partly filled, it will expand to a normal size and not explode.


When an inflated balloon is exposed to cold air?
