a See page 443 06 Question (1point) The severity of a tropical storm is related to the depressed atmospheric pressure at its center. Shown below is a photograph of Typhoon Odessa taken from the space shuttle Discovery in August 1985, when the maximum winds of the storm were about 90 mi/hr and the pressure was 400 mbar lower at the center than normal atmospheric pressure. In contrast, the central pressure of Hurricane Andrew was 900 mbar lower than its surroundings when it hit south Florida with winds as high as 165 mi/hr. v 4th attempt See Periodic Table Q See Hint If a small weather balloon with a volume of 400Lat a pressure of 1.00 atmosphere was deployed at the edge of Typhoon Odessa (in picture).what was the volume of the balloon when it reached the center? L.

Explanation / Answer

this is ideal gas law

P1V1 = P2V2

P1 = 1 atm, V1 = 40 L

P2 = 40 mbar = 40*10^-3 bar = 0.04 bar = 0.04*0.989 atm = 0.0394 atm

then

V2 = P1V1/P2 = (1*40)/0.0394 = 1015.22 Liters
