Exam-hall rules, launch day

This is the boss. No calculator — the numbers are chosen to fit in your head: Vm=22.4 L/molV_m = 22.4\ \mathrm{L/mol} at STP, and every ratio in the climb is a clean fraction. One balloon, launch to altitude, and every answer feeds the next: count the moles at the fill, then ride the combined law up — pressure's stretch first, the chill's cut second. Write each line down as you go; one early slip rises all the way to reporting altitude with you.

Everything from the chapter rides in it. 5★ under par here is the chapter crown. Pressure test — begin.

P1V1T1P2T2V2

P1V1T1=P2V2T2\frac{P_1 V_1}{T_1} = \frac{P_2 V_2}{T_2}

  • P1P_1= Initial pressure (pressure)
  • V1V_1= Initial volume (volume)
  • T1T_1= Initial absolute temperature (temperature)
  • P2P_2= Final pressure (pressure)
  • V2V_2= Final volume (volume)
  • T2T_2= Final absolute temperature (temperature)
