At the carnival, a baby was given a helium balloon whose pressure equaled the atmospheric pressure at the carnival, which was 102.7 kPa. However, the baby wasn't paying attention, and the balloon floated away into the troposphere, where the atmospheric pressure is 97.8 kPa.

What is the positive difference between the pressure in the balloon and the pressure of the troposphere in atm?

Answer :

The positive difference between the

pressure in the balloon and the pressure of the troposphere is 0.048 kPa .

The balloon is being compressed by atmospheric force. The balloon is trying to inflate owing to gas pressure. The atmospheric pressure (outside pressure) in a fully inflated balloon is lower than the internal gas pressure.

An inflated balloon has a higher internal pressure than its surrounding air. Because the contracting force produced by the rubber's surface tension balances the expanding force caused by the pressure differential, the balloon remains stable.

Because to the air pressure on the walls, a balloon's surface feels tighter when it is inflated. The internal air pressure gives the balloon its shape. The balloon will therefore be more pressurized after being inflated.
