Consider a balloon with volume V. It contains n moles of gas and has an internal pressure of P. The temperature of the gas is T.
Stels [109]

Given that the gas inside the balloon is an ideal gas, then the ideal gas equation can be used to describe the system. I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option B. If the balloon is heatedto a temperature of 15.5T while it is placed under a high pressure of 15.5P, then the volume of the balloon stays the same since the change in temperature corresponds to same degree of change with pressure.
