Answer:

102.26 moles of helium were required to Fill the Goodyear Blimp

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question we need to use combined gas law:

PV = nRT

Where P is pressure, V is volume of gas (2500L), n are moles of gas (Our incognite), R is gas constant (0.082atmL/molK) and T is absolute temperature

Assuming atmospheric condition we can write P = 1atm and T = 25°C = 298.15K

Replacing:

PV/RT = n

1atm*2500L / 0.082atmL/molK*298.15K = n

102.26 moles of helium were required to Fill the Goodyear Blimp
