about hydrogen gas
« on: December 07, 2006, 07:28:24 AM »
how much hydrogen gas (volume) would be required to lift a mass of 1 K.g. Like in the case of an hydrogen balloon.

The Ideal Gas Equation will give you a good estimate of the volume.

As the molar mass of hydrogen gas is 2 grams/mole.
1000 kg of hydrogen gas contains 500 moles of hydrogen molecule.
Under room condition(25 Degree Celsius and 1 atmospheric pressure), 1 mole of gas molecule occupy 24.0 cubic decimeter.
Therefore 500 moles= 500*24 cubic decimeter=1200 cubic decimeter.

No. What is difference between g and kg?

Not that it is in any way related to the original question.

Umm... I actually wouldn't know how to approach this one, any suggestions? And if anyone says look at #1 in my sig....
Most Common Suggestions I Make on the Forums.
1. Start by writing a balanced chemical equation.
2. Don't confuse thermodynamic stability with chemical reactivity.
3. Forum Supports LaTex

Something along the lines of http://www.chem.hawaii.edu/uham/lift.html ? perhaps - but the figures seem a little low (not enough lift)

Lift is the difference between mass of the liquid (gas) displaced and mass of the object (or buoyancy minus mass of the object itself). So, volume V of hydrogen displaces V air and lift is V(dair-dhydrogen). Density of air at STP is around 1.29 g/L, density of hydrogen at STP - around 0.089 g/L. That gives lift of 1.2 g/L, you need 1kg, so 830 L will do. That's neglecting mass of the baloon.

Densities can be easily calculated from pV=nRT and n=mass/molar mass, or even simpler from d = molar mass/22.4.
