Match each scenario to the law that explains it. A balloon shrinks when it's taken outside in the winter. When the size of an air chamber is increased, the air pressure decreases. A balloon expands when air is blown into it. A closed, flexible container expands when it's heated. Pressing on an inflated balloon decreases its size.

Answer:

1) A balloon shrinks when it's taken outside in the winter. Charles Law

2) When the size of an air chamber is increased, the air pressure decreases. Boyle's law

3) A balloon expands when air is blown into it. Avogadro's law

4) Pressing on an inflated balloon decreases its size. Boyle's law

5) A closed, flexible container expands when it's heated. Charles law

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the statement of Charles law, the volume of a given mass of gas is directly proportional to its absolute temperature at constant pressure. Hence 1 and 5 are phenomena that represent Charles law.

On the other hand; Boyle's law states that the volume of a given mass of gas is inversely proportional to pressure at constant temperature. The scenario in 2 and 3 are phenomena that represents Boyle's law.

Avogadro's law states that the volume of a given mass of gas is directly proportional to the number of moles present. Hence the scenario in (3) above represents Avogadro's law.
