Calculate the approximate mass of cargo which a balloon filled with hydrogen could lift?
First, you need to know the temperature and pressure of the hydrogen and surrounding air. Using these, you can calculate the approximate density (in grams per cubic meter) using an equation derived from the ideal gas law p = m*P/(R*T).
p is what you solve for, grams per cubic meter
m is the weight per mole of gas in grams
P is pressure in Pascals, or N/m^2
R is the ideal gas constant, about .082 J/mol K
T is the temperature in Kelvin (K) - NOT CELCIUS!
Multiply volume by the difference in densities to get the mass a balloon can lift. At sea level and 20 C, the difference in densities is about 930 grams per cubic meter.
What else can I help you with?
Why would a balloon filled with hydrogen on the surface pop 1km in the atmosphere?
As the balloon rises in the atmosphere, the air pressure decreases while the internal pressure of the hydrogen-filled balloon remains constant. This causes the pressure difference to increase, putting more stress on the balloon's material until it eventually pops due to the increased pressure difference.
Would a balloon exploded filled with gas?
Yes, if a balloon is filled with gas and is overinflated beyond its capacity, it can explode due to the pressure build-up inside. This is a result of the balloon's material being unable to contain the expanded gas volume, causing it to burst.
Which has higher density balloon filled with water or helium?
I would say an air filled balloon if you fill it with just plain air. I am basing this on the principle of osmosis and diffusion. A substance such as a gas will travel from an area of increased concentration, such as a balloon filled with helium, to an area od decreased concentration, such as the room the balloon is in. If you fill the balloon with air identicle to that in the surrounding room it negates diffusion.
What can make a balloon float besides helium?
It depends on what the balloon is filled with.A balloon may float if it is filled with any gas that is less dense than air: hydrogen, helium, even pure nitrogen gas. However, the weight of the balloon will determine whether it can be lifted by the difference in density. So the most effective lifting gases are hydrogen and helium. Helium is used because it is nonflammable and noncorrosive. Early German dirigibles (zeppelins) were filled with hydrogen, and some caught fire, notably the Hindenburg in 1937.Larger balloons can be lifted by hot air, which is less dense than cooler air. If the air cools again, it will no longer provide lift.
Four balloons of equal size are filled with hydrogen at room temperature hydrogen at 0 degrees clean air at room temperature and clean air at 0 degrees which balloon will shrink the fastest?
You would think that the balloon at the lowest temperature would shrink the fastest due to the simple ideal gas law equation. PV=nRT HOWEVER the temperature is not the determining factor in this case. Hydrogen leaks through rubber and the greater the temperature the faster the leakage. So it will be the balloon at the HIGHEST temperature that will leak the fastest. This is also true for Helium. Other gases obey the Ideal Gas Law.
Which of a hydrogen filled balloon air filled balloon and a carbon dioxide filled balloon will deflate the fastest and which is the slowest and explain your answer?
A hydrogen balloon will deflate the fastest because molecules of hydrogen are the smallest and thus will more easily slip through the latex of the balloon. The carbon dioxide-filled balloon will deflate the slowest because these molecules are the biggest, and thus will have more trouble escaping the tiny pores in the balloon.
The Hindenburg was a balloon that exploded filled with what gas?
Hydrogen.
Why a balloon filled with hydrogen gas floats in air?
A balloon filled with hydrogen gas floats in air because hydrogen is lighter than air. The buoyant force acting on the balloon is greater than the gravitational force pulling it down, allowing it to float.
What small balloon used to carry meteorological instruments into the atmosphere?
Just a met balloon - meteorological balloon. Generally filled with hydrogen.
Why A balloon filled hydrogen rises to a certain height stops rising why?
A balloon filled with hydrogen rises until it reaches a level in the atmosphere where the air pressure outside the balloon is equal to the pressure inside the balloon. At this point, the balloon stops rising because the difference in pressure is no longer enough to overcome the force of gravity pulling it downward.
Can a hydrogen filled balloon float in vacuum?
no it will not. because a balloon filled with hydrogen floats only because it is lighter than air so when there is a vacuum it will not float. it is like oil and water if there is no water oil is on the bottom if there is water it is on the top.
What did James Glaisher make his balloon with?
James Glaisher made his balloon with silk fabric coated in rubber to make it airtight. The balloon was filled with hydrogen gas for buoyancy.
How can you determine if a balloon is filled with helium gas or hydrogen gas?
If you are comparing two balloons side by side, a hydrogen balloon will have more lift than a helium balloon of the same size and construction.If you open the balloons, the hydrogen is flammable, while the helium is not.
Why the balloon filled with hydrogen goes up whereas the balloon filled with air comes down?
Hydrogen is less dense than air, ergo it floats. Air is of the same density as air, but the rubber skin around it makes it more dense, ergo it sinks.
When did Jacques Alexandre Charles use when he first attempted to use hydrogen gas?
The first balloon filled with hydrogen was launched in August 1783.
What goes up when you let go of it?
More than likely a Helium filled balloon. A Hydrogen filled balloon is very flammable and might burst into flames similar to the Hindenburg blimp/dirigible. Helium is not flammable.
Why would a balloon filled with hydrogen on the surface pop 1km in the atmosphere?
As the balloon rises in the atmosphere, the air pressure decreases while the internal pressure of the hydrogen-filled balloon remains constant. This causes the pressure difference to increase, putting more stress on the balloon's material until it eventually pops due to the increased pressure difference.
