Question

Is it possible for a balloon with an initial pressure of 200.0 kPa to naturally expand to four times its initial volume when the temperature remains constant and atmospheric pressure is 101.3kPa?

Answer 1

Yes it is possible for a balloon to expand under these conditions. When objects are exposed to an atmospheric pressure beyond their capabilities, their physical characteristics change. This is because, molecules within the balloon are constantly moving and reacting to its external environment.
