Question

At the end of the experiment, tell what happens to the balloon. You place a balloon in a closed chamber at standard temperature and pressure (STP). You double the chamber temperature while leaving the pressure constant.

A. It doubles in volume.

B. It decreases to one-half of its original volume.

C. It stays the same volume.

D. It expands to four times its original volume.

Answer 1

I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option A. This is on the case of an ideal gas inside the balloon. Being an ideal gas, it should follow the ideal gas equation where temperature and volume are directly related, So, doubling the temperature would as well double the volume of the balloon given there is constant pressure.
