Explain the following observation.
Liquid ammonia bottle is cooled before opening the seal
Advertisements
उत्तर
Liquid ammonia bottle contains the gas under very high pressure. If the bottle is opened as such, then the sudden decrease in pressure will lead to a large increase in the volume of the gas. As a result, the gas will come out of the bottle all of a sudden with force. This will lead to the breakage of the bottle and also causes an accident.
However, if the bottle is cooled under tap water for some time, there will be a decrease in the volume of a gas to a large extent. if the seal is opened now, the gas will come out of the bottle at a slower rate, reduces the chances of an accident.

Solve the following.
A balloon is inflated with helium gas at room temperature of 25°C and at 1 bar pressure when its initial volume is 2.27L and allowed to rise in the air. As it rises in the air external pressure decreases and the volume of the gas increases till finally, it bursts when external pressure is 0.3bar.
