The density of helium is 7 times smaller than air. For any gas, the speed of sound is given by v= (Pressure/Gas Density) ^1/2. If the pressure is kept the same, what is the speed of sound in helium?

Solutions

Expert Solution

given,

         

   here is density

          pressure of air is

                                      

and pressure of helium is

Say the density of air is 1.23 kg/m3 and the density of helium is 0.164 kg/m3 when both are at STP. Let's model a balloon as a sphere of radius 0.12 m, with mass 2 g. 1) What is the mass of the helium that would fill a single balloon? 2) What is the buoyant force on a single balloon? 3) What is the net force on a single balloon? 4) If we attach 0.5 m of string (properties: 800...

Would the speed of sound in a monatomic gas like helium be the same as it would be in air (primarily a diatomic gas)? Why? Assume that both gases have the same density and exist at the same pressure. Yes. If the pressure and density of both gases are the same, then the speed of sound must be the same. No. The energy that goes into molecular bonds in the diatomic gas makes the effective spring constant of the gas...
