You have several options, including:

  1. Increase the temperature of the gas, keeping the volume and mass of gas constant.
  2. Decrease the volume of the tank (e.g. with a piston), keeping the temperature and mass of gas constant.
  3. Add more gas to the tank, keeping the volume and temperature constant.

What will a helium filled balloon do in space?

In space, a helium-filled balloon will expand further due to the lack of air pressure outside the balloon. Eventually, the balloon will burst because the pressure from the helium inside will exceed the pressure outside.

Why does a balloon inflate when you add helium gas?

A ballon inflates when you add helium to it for the same reason that it would inflate if you added any other gas. By Boyle's law, increasing the number of atoms of a gas to a constant space must increase the pressure of that gas. That pressure, in a balloon, must balance the force required to stretch the balloon as well as the pressure of the atmosphere pressing in on the balloon. This is not the same as the density of the displaced air. The inflated balloon would have less mass than the volume of air it displaces. This would cause the balloon to be lighter than air, and thus rise. If the elasticity of the balloon were smaller than normal, it would require more helium in a smaller volume. If the elasticity was sufficiently small, the balloon would not be lighter than air.


Why would a balloon full with helium explode if left in a hot car?

The heat can cause the air inside the balloon to expand, increasing the pressure beyond what the balloon can handle, leading to an explosion. Helium or not, any sealed container in extreme heat can experience this pressure buildup.


What would happen to a balloon heated up?

Heating up a balloon will cause the air inside it to expand, which will increase the pressure inside the balloon. If the pressure exceeds the balloon's strength, it will pop or burst.


In terms of pascal's principle when you squeeze a balloon where is the pressure inside the balloon increased the most?

The pressure inside the balloon would be increased most at the point where you are squeezing it. Pascal's principle states that when pressure is applied to a confined fluid, that pressure is transmitted equally in all directions within the fluid. Therefore, the pressure increase would be highest at the point of application.


If you wanted to increase pressure inside of a sealed Zip Loc bag what three things could you do?

Without breaking the seal or puncturing the bag, there is only one thing that would increase the pressure - warming it up.
