Effusion is the process

where a gas escapes

through a small pore in the

container wall into a region

of lower pressure.

Jacques Alexandre Charles (1796-1823)

The French chemist Charles was most famous in his lifetime for his experiments in

ballooning. The first such flights were made by the Montgollier brothers in June 1783,

using a large spherical balloon made of linen and paper and filled with hot air. In

August 1783, however, a different group. supervised by Jacques Charles, tried a

different approach. Exploiting his recent discoveries in the study of gases, Charles

decided to inflate the balloon with hydrogen gas. Because hydrogen would escape

easily from a paper bag, Charles made a bag of silk coaled with a rubber solution.

Inflating the bag to its final diameter took several days and required nearly 500

pounds of acid and 1000 pounds of iron to generate the hydrogen gas. A huge crowd

watched the ascent on August 27, 1783. The balloon stayed aloft for almost 45

minutes and travelled about 15 miles. When it landed in a village, however, the

people were so terrified they tore if to shreds.

Sample Exercise 10.4:

Applying Charles’ Law

Several students at a northern New England campus are hosting a party celebrating the mid-January start of “spring” semester classes. They decide to decorate the front door of their apartment building with party balloons. The air in the inflated balloons is initially 70 oF. After an hour outside, the temperature of the balloons is -12 oF. Assuming no air leaks from the balloons and the pressure in them does not change significantly, how much does their volume change? Express your answer as a percentage of the initial volume.
