David has a weather balloon that he fills with helium and then releases. As the balloon rises into the atmosphere, the balloon gets bigger and bigger. Why?
A) the temperature of the gas is decreasing, so the volume is increasing
B)the volume is increasing as the pressure inside is decreasing to match the air pressure outside the balloon
C)gas is leaking out of the balloon, so there isn't as much volume
D)this doesn't happen -- the balloon will actually stay the same size

Respuesta :

Answer: B

Explanation: since the balloon is getting bigger it would make sense for the volume to increase ( get bigger) when volume increases the pressure decreases

As the balloon rises into the atmosphere, the balloon gets bigger and bigger because the volume is increasing as the pressure inside is decreasing to match the air pressure outside the balloon.

What is ideal gas equation?

Ideal gas equation gives idea about the behavior of gas at different condition & represented as:

PV = nRT, where

  • P = pressure
  • V = volume
  • n = moles
  • R = universal gas constant
  • T = temperature

From the above equation it is clear that relation between the pressure and volume is inversely means when pressure decreases then volume increases.

Hence, the volume is increasing as the pressure inside is decreasing to match the air pressure outside the balloon.
