A 100 m diameter balloon filled with krypton (Kr) is floating at a constant altitude in the
atmosphere of Jupiter. The balloon skin is made of a material with a thermal
conductivity of zero. The pressure of the krypton near the top of the balloon is
10.0 kPa, while the krypton pressure near the bottom of the balloon is 11.6 kPa. Is it
possible for the krypton in the balloon to be in thermodynamic equilibrium?
