Question: Answered & Verified by Expert
A hot air balloon with a payload rises in the air. Assume that the balloon is spherical in shape with diameter of 11.7 m and the mass of the ballon and the payload (without the hot air inside) is 210 kg Temperature and pressure of outside air are 27°C and 1 atm =105 N/m2, respectively. Molar mass of dry air is 30 g. The temperature of the hot air inside is close to [The gas constant, R=831JK-1 mol-1 ]

The correct answer is: 105°C

 Hot air balloon will rise in the atmosphere when upthrust of buoyant force is greater than weight of balloon and its payload. Upthrust = Weight of atmospheric air displaced by balloon So, upthrust weight of balloon and its payload

(Volume of air displaced × density of atmospheric air ×Acceleration due to gravity) (Volume of air of inside balloon

x density of air inside balloon × acceleration due to gravity) + (Weight of payload of balloon) V·ρo·gV·ρi·g+210×g



where ρo= density of outside air and ρi= density of inside air.



 



Vρoρi=210 ρ0ρi=210×34πr3V=43πr3 PMRT0PMRTi=210×34×π×11.7231T01Ti =680×8×8.314×π×(11.7)3×105×30×103 TiT0T0Ti=11387



T0Ti=1387TiTo 300Ti=1387Ti300×1387  (as, T0=27C=300K  So, Ti=300×13871087383K Ti=383273=110C



So, temperature of hot air is near to 105°C.
