Question

A pool float was filled with air to capacity in the middle of a hot day. The next morning the pool float looked different yet no gas escaped or entered the float. Describe what you think the float looked like in the morning and why it occurred.

Answer 1

The pool float looked would have looked deflated the next morning.

Step-by-step explanation:

When temperature decreases the volume decreases

Answer 2

The pool float most likely looked a little deflated or pushed in

Step-by-step explanation:

The pool float most likely looked a little deflated or pushed in. This is because during the night temperatures most likely dropped. These cold temperatures during the night would have caused the air molecules inside the pool float to come closer together which would cause there to be more excess space inside the pool float. Therefore, allowing it to collapse into itself. This would be far worse if the float was filled with helium or another gas other than O2.
