Question

A balloon is filled with water. The balloon is heated and begins to expand. The water inside begins to turn into steam. What will happen to the mass of the balloon?

Answer 1

Explanation:

The kinetic energy of the particles is directly proportional to the temperature.

In the given problem, a balloon is filled with water. It is heated then it begins to expand. As the water gains energy the particles of the water moves more freely inside the balloon. The water inside balloon turns into steam. Then, the particles of the water collide with the walls of the balloon and create pressure on the walls of the balloon.

The volume of the balloon will expand in this case.

Answer 2

The stuff in the balloon changes temperature, then changes state and changes volume. But the amount of mass in the balloon stays constant.
