Question

If you place a balloon in the freezer, it will __________.

Question 16 options:

deflate because volume is inversely proportional to temperature

stay the same size because there is no relationship between volume and temperature

expand because volume is inversely proportional to temperature

deflate because volume is directly proportional to temperature

Answer 1

The answer is "Deflate because volume is directly proportional to temperature"

Answer 2

Answer: deflate because volume is directly proportional to temperature

Step-by-step explanation:

Charles' Law: This law states that volume is directly proportional to the temperature of the gas at constant pressure and number of moles.

`V\propto T` (At constant pressure and number of moles)

`(V_1)/(T_1)=(V_2)/(T_2)`

where,

`V_1` = initial volume of gas

`V_2` = final volume of gas

`T_1` = initial temperature of gas

`T_2` = final temperature of gas

As volume is directly proportional to temperature, as the balloon is kept in freezer, the temperature would decrease and thus the volume will decrease and it will deflate.
