Calculate pressure in temperature changes

AI Thread Summary
To calculate the pressure exerted by helium in a balloon at an altitude of 2500 meters, the ideal gas law (PV=nRT) is recommended, assuming helium behaves as an ideal gas. The temperature must be converted from Fahrenheit to Kelvin, and the volume from cubic centimeters to liters. The discussion emphasizes the importance of these conversions for accurate calculations. The user expresses gratitude for the guidance received, indicating that the suggested approach led to the correct answer.

A toy balloon if filled with 0.150 grams of hellium and ocupied a valume of 4250.0 Cm3. It rises 2500 miters above the street where temperature is 23 degrees F. Calculate the pressure that the hellium exert inside the balloon at this altitud.

Please anyone who can help me. I thing I have to use the pressure formula or the combine formula. Not sure.. Anyone please I have to turn in my take home test today at 10:00 am.

If you assume that the helium behaves as an ideal gas you can use the ideal gas equation, PV=nRT. Just convert F to C, Vol to L, g to mol. Plug and chug.
 
sorry not F to C, but F to Kelvins
 
Thanks gravenewworld, Many thanks to you.

I apreciate the help and I hope that the Lord bless you with many good things. Your suggestion was perfect and the anwer I came up with was right. Thanks a bunch..
 

Thread 'Solubility of MgSO47H2O in water'

It seems like a simple enough question: what is the solubility of epsom salt in water at 20°C? A graph or table showing how it varies with temperature would be a bonus. But upon searching the internet I have been unable to determine this with confidence. Wikipedia gives the value of 113g/100ml. But other sources disagree and I can't find a definitive source for the information. I even asked chatgpt but it couldn't be sure either. I thought, naively, that this would be easy to look up without...

Thread 'Why does having 8 valence electrons make an element inert?'

I was introduced to the Octet Rule recently and make me wonder, why does 8 valence electrons or a full p orbital always make an element inert? What is so special with a full p orbital? Like take Calcium for an example, its outer orbital is filled but its only the s orbital thats filled so its still reactive not so much as the Alkaline metals but still pretty reactive. Can someone explain it to me? Thanks!!
