Payload is defined as the difference between the mass of displaced air and the mass of the balloon. Calculate the payload when a balloon of radius 10 m, mass 100 kg is filled with helium at 1.66 bar at 27°C. (Density of air =1.2 kg m−3\mathrm{kg\,m}^{-3} and R = 0.083 bar dm3 K−1 mol−1\mathrm{dm}^3\,\mathrm{K}^{-1}\,\mathrm{mol}^{-1})
Solution:  
Volume of balloon = 43Ï€r3\frac{4}{3} \pi r^3 , Radius of balloon, r = 10 m
V = 43\frac{4}{3} × 3.14 × (10)3(10)^3 = 4186.7 m3\mathrm{m}^3
Mass of displaced air = 4186.7 m3\mathrm{m}^3 × 1.2 kg m−3\mathrm{kg\,m}^{-3} = 5024.04 kg
Moles of gas present = PVRT\frac{PV}{RT} = 1.66×4186.7×1030.083×300\frac{1.66 \times 4186.7 \times 10^3}{0.083 \times 300} = 279.11 × 10310^3 moles
Mass of helium present = 279.11 × 10310^3 × 4 = 1116.44 × 10310^3 g = 1116.44 kg
Mass of filled balloon = 100 + 1116.44 = 1216.44 kg
Payload = Mass of displaced air – Mass of balloon
= 5024.04 – 1216.44 = 3807.6 kg
