When air is heated it expands. The gas increases volume by 1 percent for every 6 degrees Fahrenheit making it expand.

Is a heilum balloon a gas-liquid mixture?

No, it is a gas-solid mixture when view as a whole. It has a solid component (the balloon itself), and a gas component (the helium)


Why do the sides of the balloon expand when you blow into it?

When you blow air into a balloon, the pressure inside the balloon increases. This increased pressure pushes the rubber material of the balloon outward, causing it to expand and inflate. The material of the balloon stretches to accommodate the higher volume of air being forced into it.


Why does the volume of a balloon increase as the balloon is heated?

Heating a balloon causes the air molecules inside the balloon to move faster and spread out, increasing the volume of the balloon. This is because the kinetic energy of the molecules increases, pushing against the walls of the balloon and expanding it.


What type of energy is a balloon expanding?

The energy involved in a balloon expanding is primarily potential energy, which is stored in the elastic material of the balloon as it is stretched. When the balloon is released, this potential energy is converted into kinetic energy, causing the balloon to expand.


What is inside the inflated balloon?

Helium goes into a balloon to make it float.


What is an example of something expanding contracting?

An example of something expanding and contracting is a balloon. When air is blown into the balloon, it expands. When the air is released, the balloon contracts back to its original size.


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.


What law of gas is apply in a balloon burst into flame when placed near a lighted candle?

The law that applies in this scenario is the Ideal Gas Law. When a balloon filled with a gas bursts into flame near a lighted candle, it is due to the gas inside the balloon rapidly expanding and igniting when exposed to the heat from the flame. This reaction follows the principles of the Ideal Gas Law, which describes the relationship between pressure, volume, and temperature of a gas.


Used to make a balloon float?

helium gas


Why does the reaction stop so the balloon stops expanding after baking soda and vinegar are mixed?

The reaction between baking soda and vinegar produces carbon dioxide gas. Once all the reactants have been converted to products and no more gas is being produced, the pressure inside the balloon equalizes with the pressure outside, causing the balloon to stop expanding.


What gas do you use to make a balloon float?

Helium gas is commonly used to make balloons float because it is lighter than air and creates lift. The helium gas in the balloon is less dense than the surrounding air, causing the balloon to rise.


When the gas in a balloon is heated the balloon expends. What are the correct signs of heat and work for this change?

The sign for heat added to the system is positive because heat is being transferred to the gas. The sign for work done by the system is also positive because the gas is expanding against the external pressure.
