Question

In the wintertime, you decide to buy a helium balloon at Dollar Tree. It is fully
inflated in the store. However, when you walk outside in the cold, the balloon
deflates quite a bit. So, you go back into the store, to exchange it for a different
balloon. But once you walk back into the warm store, the balloon is fully inflated!
Why does the balloon deflate outside in the cold winter weather and inflate inside
the warm store? Which gas law, (Charles, Boyle, Guy-Lussacs law) causes this to
happen?

Answer 1

Answer:

The reason that the balloon shrinks is because when the temperature drops, helium becomes more dense then it already is. So what happens is that its molecules lose energy, slows down and moves closer together to conserve heat and this decreases the volume inside the balloon because the helium molecules are moving closer together, rather than outward toward the shell of the balloon which cause the balloon to swell then shrink. The gas law that causes this to happen is the Charles law.

Answer 2

Answer:

When the temperature decreases the pressure decreases with it, causing it to crumple or deflate.
