Why does an increase in temperature increase the volume of a balloon?

This requires one simple equation and then a further understanding of it.
PV=nRT where P is pressure, V is volume, T is temperature, n is the number of molecule, R is some constant.
From this we can easily see that an increase in temperature does in fact cause an increase in volume. To see why lets think about what temperature is.
Temperature is a measure of average kinetic energy. So an increase in temperature increases the average kinetic energy. An increase in average kinetic energy means that average velocity must be increased (K.E = .5(mv^2)). More velocity means that the molecules in the balloon are flying faster, and since pressure is the same, the molecules spread out more, which must increase the volume.

Why does the volume of a balloon increase as the balloon is heated?
Because the gas inside expands with the heat
While a balloon is being filled if the temperature of the air in the balloon decreases what happens to its volume?
volume decreases considering the pressure is constant
Which term describes in a material's volume due to an increase in temperature?
An increase in temperature produces an increase in volume.
What happens to the volume or size of a balloon as it rises in the air?
The volume of the balloon will increase as it rises in the air. This is because the atmospheric pressure decreases at higher altitudes.
When the temperature of a gas in a balloon increase the volume of the balloon will?
Increase. By the ideal gas law, PV = nRT Atmospheric pressure will stay the same so the pressure in the balloon will remain about the same. n (the amount of gas in the balloon) will stay the same R is the gas constant so it stays the same consequently if P, n, and R remain the same and T increases, V must increase too.
How will volume of a balloon change if pressure remains constant but temperature increases?
The volume will increase in proportion to the increase in absolute temperature.
How will volume of a balloon change if pressure remains constant but pressure increase?
The volume will increase in proportion to the increase in absolute temperature.
What happens to the volume of a balloon left on a sunny windowsill and which gas law predict this result?
The volume of the balloon will increase on the sunny windowsill due to the increase in temperature. This follows Charles's Law, which states that the volume of a gas is directly proportional to its temperature when pressure is constant.
What happens to the volume of Balloon left on a sunny windowsill?
It would increase. The balloon would expand because when temperature increases, volume increases as well.
What is the diffusion rate of temperature at 5 degrees Celsius?
If I have 45 liters of helium in a balloon at 250 C and increase the temperature of the balloon to 550 C, what will the new volume of the balloon be?
How does temperature affect the size of a balloon?
When the temperature is colder the particles in the balloon travel slower, making the balloon not able to increase in size it decreases.When the temperature is hot it allows the balloon to expand because the particles in the balloon are moving rapidly. in conclusion the the cold makes the balloon decrease in size and the heat allows it to expand.
Does the gas inside a balloon affects its size and shape?
Increasing the temperature or pressure of the gas the volume increase.
What will happen to a balloon's volume if its heated?
The kinetic energy of the particles inside the balloon increase. This then expands the volume of the balloon.
What happens if you put a balloon in the microwave?
It would increase in volume. According to Charles' Law, as you increase temperature the volume will increase as well. So if you would put it in a freezer, it would shrink because as you decrease temperature, you decrease volume.
If you have 45L of helium in a balloon at temperature of25c and increased the temperature of the balloon to 55c what will the new volume of the balloon be?
49.5
What happens to volume as temperature changes?
if volume of a gas increases temperature also increases
When A balloon has a volume of 10500 liters and the temperature is 15 and degC. If the temperature were -25 and degC what would the volume of the balloon be?
It would be approx 9042 litres.
