Answer:
1) The balloon will shrink
2) The balloon will grow bigger and regain its shape
Explanation:
By the kinetic theory of gases, we have;
Where;
= RMS Speed
R = The universal gas constant
T = The temperature
MW = The Molecular weight
n = The number of moles
V = The volume
P = The pressure
1) When the balloon is placed in the refrigerator for minutes, the temperature inside the balloon will drop and RMS speed will reduce, however due to the elastic wall of the balloon, the pressure will remain the same therefore the volume will reduce and the balloon will shrink
2) When the balloon is placed on the kitchen counter, the temperature inside the balloon will rise leading to the increase in the RMS speed which will raise the pressure effect on the wall of the balloon as the balloon is made of elastic material, as the pressure rises, the wall expands to keep the pressure constant and the volume occupied by the air particles will increase, the balloon will grow bigger and regain its shape.
