A student inflates a balloon for a party inside her house, where the temperature is 23°C. She then takes the balloon outside, where the temperature is 12°C. What most likely will happen to the balloon?

The balloon will lose volume since Charles law says if temperature decreases then volume decreases and going from 23 degrees to 12 degrees is a temperature decrease.


Most likely the balloon will decrease in volume.
