If you triple the amount of a gas in a balloon, what happens
to the volume of the balloon? (Assume that temperature
and pressure remain constant.)

Answer:

The volume triples

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming that the temperature and pressure are constant means the density would be the same

The equation for density is:
Density = mass/volume

Tripling the amount of gas would triple the mass of the balloon, and since we are keeping the same density, the volume also has to triple
