Question

199 Chapter 6 Homework (Gases) 165% Odessa The severity of a tropical storm is related to the depressed atmospheric pr from the space shuttle Discovery in August 1985, when the maximum winds of the storm were about 90 mi/hr and the pressure was 40.0 mbar lower at the center than normal atmospheric pressure. In contrast, the central pressure of Hurricane Andrew was 90.0 mbar lower than its surroundings when it hit south Florida with winds as high as 165 mi/hr re at its aph of T 4th attempt hl See Periodic Table See Hint VIEW SOLUTION 04/12>

Explanation / Answer

In typoon odessaAt the center pressure ia 40.0 mbar is lower than atmospheric pressure.

so that,

    P1 = 1 atm = 1.01325 bar P2 = 1.01325 - (40*10^-3) = 0.97325 bar

    V1 = volume of ballon = 60.0 L V2 = ?

   P1V1 = P2V2

(1*60) = (0.97325*v2)

v2 = Volume of ballon at center = 61.65 L
