Wish lanterns have become a popular addition to wedding celebrations. The rice paper lantern has a small candle attached in the opening, and when it is lit, it warms the air inside the lantern, causing it to rise. Calculate the difference in the density of the gas contained inside the lantern before the candle is lit (T = 298 K, P = 1.00 atm, V = 35.0 L) and after the candle is lit (T = 348 K, P = 1.00 atm, V = 35.0 L). The average molar mass of dry air is 28.97 g/mol. Remember that the pressure inside and outside the lantern remains constant because it is not a sealed container
