Why does a sealed bag of chips expand when you take it to a higher altitude?

Short Answer

Expert verified

Due to Boyle's law a sealed bag of chips expand when you take it to a higher altitude

Step by step solution

01

Given information

We are to find why does a sealed bag of chips expand when you take it to a higher altitude.

02

Simplify

Because atmospheric pressure drops with height, when a sealed bag of chips is transported to a higher altitude, the pressure of the gases inside the bag exceeds the outer atmospheric pressure, putting pressure on the chips bag's side covering, causing it to expand.

A weather balloon is partially filled with helium to allow for expansion at high altitudes. At STP, a weather balloon is filled with enough helium to give a volume of 25.0L. At an altitude of 30.0kmand -35掳C, it has expanded to 2460L. The increase in volume cause it to burst and a small parachute returns the instruments to Earth.

a. How many grams of helium are added to the balloon?

b. What is the final pressure, in millimeters of mercury, of the helium inside the balloon when it bursts?

A gas has a volume of4.00Lat 0掳C.What final temperature, in degrees Celsius, is needed to change the volume of the gas to each of the following, if Pand ndo not change?

a. localid="1654147244427" 1.50L

b . localid="1654147258094" 1200mL

c. localid="1654147278616" 10.0L

d.localid="1654147293745" 50.0mL

A scuba diver 60ftbelow the ocean surface inhales 50.0mLof compressed air from a ccuba tank at a pressure of 3.00atmand a temperature of 8掳C. What is the final pressure of air, in atmospheres, in the lungs when the gas expands to 150.0mLat a body temperature of 37掳C, if the amount of gas does not change?

Your spaceship has docked at a space station above Mars. The temperature inside the space station is carefully controlled 24掳Cat a pressure of 745mmHg. A balloon with a volume of 425mLdrifts into the airlock where the temperature is -95掳Cand the pressure is 0.115atm. What is the final volume, in milliliter, of the balloon if ndoes not change and the balloon is very elastic?8.5

A gas with a volume of 4.0 L is in a closed container. Indicate the changes (increases, decreases, does not change) in pressure when the volume undergoes the following changes at constant temperature and amount of gas:
a. The volume is compressed to2.0 L.
b. The volume expands to12 L.
c. The volume is compressed to 0.40L
