Question

What would happen to a bunch of balloons that were inflated outside when it was 95 degrees F and you took them into an ice hockey rink where it was 45 degrees F *

Answer 1

The balloon shrinks

Step-by-step explanation:

According to Charles law, temperature and volume are directly proportional. When temperature increases, volume of the gas inside the balloon increases and vice versa at constant pressure.

However, when the balloons are taken into an ice hockey rink and their temperatures drop from 95 degrees Fahrenheit to 45 degrees Fahrenheit, the molecules of gas in the balloons loose energy and move at slower speeds tending to stick closer together. The volume of the balloon therefore decreases accordingly. This means that the balloon shrinks.
