Explain why an inflated balloon shrinks when placed inside the refrigerator?

The reduce of temperature when put into the fridge will cause the air particles inside the balloon to have less kinetic energy than before . Thus, the air pressure is lower and as the air particles hit the wall of the balloon less often, it will cause the balloon to shrink.

When the Balloon is placed inside refrigerator then due decrease in temperature inside refrigerator the kinetic energy of Gass molecules inside balloon decreases therefore they exert less pressure on the wall of balloon as compared at normal temperature and so the balloon shrink

orCold air takes less space than warm air. If you cool a ballon it will shrink, if you heat it it will expand. You still have the same amount of air in it, the only thing that changes is how much space it takes up. Condence means that something turns into a liquid, but the air don't. If you see droplets inside the ballon it is because of the water you exhale when you inflate the ballon (if you inflate the ballon with a bicycle pump no water gets in and no drops form).It is possible to calculate how much it will shrink or expand depending on the temperature. If you use celsius you can do it like this: (Temperature in fridge + 273) / (Temperature from start + 273) x 100% = percent of original size.
example:
A ballon is inflated at room temperature (say 20 degree celsius) and then placed in a refridigerater to cool down (say 8 degree celsius). The ballon will then be (8 + 273) / (20 + 273) x 100% = 281 / 293 x 100% = 95.9%. The ballon is 4% smaller, hardly visible in other words. If the ballon is left in room temperature, it will warm back up and get its original size back.

∙ 14y agoBecause when you cool it down the air inside the ballon shrinks and there is les air presure as a result. heat it up again ant the air molucules get more exited and the ballon enlarges again.
Wiki User
∙ 13y agoThe volume decreases because warm air takes up more space than cold air does.

Liquid nitrogen is about -70 degrees C when nitrogen is poured over a balloon it shrinks dramatically This balloon rapidly expands to its normal size when set out at room temperature explain this?
The liquid is so cold that the air particles in the balloon almost stop moving, which causes the balloon to shrink. When the balloon is taken out of thr liquid the particles regain speed and expand inside of the balloon.
What happens when liquid nitrogen is poured on balloon?
Liquid nitrogen has a low temperature, and that obviously decreases the volume of the air inside the balloon. The balloon shrinks
What happens to the molecules of a liquid when it is cool?
When ice cools it shrinks
Does an egg in syrup shrinks?
Yes, an egg does shrink if put it into syrup.
What happens when you leave a piece of bread in the cold and dark?
it shrinks but preserve itself
What would happen if you put a blown up balloon outside in the sun What would happen if you put it in a refrigerator?
When in the sun the balloon gets slightly bigger, when in the refrigerator the balloon shrinks.
Inflated balloon that is taken from a heated roomto a cold outdoor?
The balloon will shrink when it goes outside. How much it shrinks will depend on the temperature difference. As temperature decreases the gas(ses) in the balloon decrease in volume causing the balloon to shrink.
How do you make an experiment to show that air occupies space?
The easiest way to demonstrate the volume of air is with a balloon. When it is inflated, the air inside is occupying space. Deflate the balloon - it shrinks in the absence of air.
What happens when you put a balloon in cold water?
The balloon shrinks because the molecules are moving slower

A blown up balloon is carried up a high mountain will it get bigger or smaller explain why its volume changes?
As balloons increase in altitude, there is less atmospheric pressure pushing on it, so the result is that the balloon expands. The opposite is true, if you sink a balloon in water there is more pressure on the outside of the balloon so it shrinks.
Why does pressure make a balloon deflate when you put it in the freezer?
Everything shrinks when it gets colder (or until it starts to change state in some cases) and gas shrinks too.
What will happen if you inflate a balloon with warm air and take it to a cold place?
The air inside cools. Cool air shrinks. The balloon gets smaller.
If you take a helium balloon from inside a warm house to outside on a snowy day what will happen to the balloon could you classify this as a phase change?
As the warmer air inside the balloon cools, the balloon will shrink slightly. The amount of shrinkage will depend on the temperature change.
Explain why you should check your tire pressure when the temperature changes?
according to Boyle's law, volume of gas shrinks with decreasing pressure
Explain why clay shrinks how much does clay shrink on average?
In the "Kilning" and "bisquing" processes, the moist clay loses water (Evaporates). The water makes up about 5-10 % of the clays' substance, thus, on average, clay shrinks about 15-20% after it is in its final finished stage.
