System volume of a gas is directly related to pressure, volume, amount of molecules, and the gas constant. When the balloon is moved to cooler air it loses heat. The loss in temperature results in a contraction of volume.

Why does the level of oxygen decreases on high mountain?

The level of oxygen decreases on high mountains because the air pressure decreases as altitude increases. This decrease in air pressure results in lower oxygen content for each breath taken at high elevations, making it harder for the body to get enough oxygen.


Does oxygen keep it's volume?

Oxygen does not have a fixed volume, as it can expand or contract based on changes in temperature and pressure. For instance, heating oxygen can cause it to expand and increase in volume, while cooling it can cause it to contract and decrease in volume.


Is Most of the volume occupied by a piece of copper is taken up by the copper nuclei true or false?

False. Most of the volume occupied by a piece of copper is taken up by the electrons moving around the copper nuclei. The size of the atomic nuclei is very small compared to the overall size of the atom.


How are volumes of hydrogen peroxide related to concentration of hydrogen peroxide expressed in percentage terms weight volume?

The strength of a solution may be described as a percentage or volume, where 1% hydrogen peroxide releases 3.3 volumes of oxygen during decomposition.Thus, a 3% solution is equivalent to 10 volume and a 6% solution to 20 volume, etc. Answer taken from Wikipedia 19/01/2009


A thermometer is taken from a room where the temperature is 20C to the outdoors where the temperature is 5C After one minute the thermometer reads 12C When will the thermometer read 6C?

Since the difference between the indoor and outdoor temperature is 15 degrees (20C - 5C), and the thermometer decreases by 8 degrees in one minute (20C - 12C), it decreases by an average rate of 8 degrees per minute. Therefore, it will take 30 minutes for the thermometer to read 6C (20C - 6C = 14C difference, and 14C / 0.5C per minute = 30 minutes).

Which gas law describes the volume of a balloon increasing on a mountaintop?

The ideal gas law describes the relationship between volume, pressure, and temperature of a gas. When a balloon is taken to a mountaintop, where the atmospheric pressure is lower, the volume of the balloon increases because the pressure on the balloon decreases. This change in volume is in accordance with Boyle's law, a special case of the ideal gas law.


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.


What happens to the volume of a balloon that is taken outside on a cold?

As we know, Charles's Law states that for a fixed amount of gas at a constant pressure, the volume of the gas changes in the same way that the temperature of the gas changes. So, if a balloon is taken outside on a cold winter day, which means in a low temperature, the volume will also decrease due to the lower temperature.


What happens to the volume of the balloon that is taken outside on cold winter day explain?

The volume of the balloon will decrease when taken outside on a cold winter day. This is because the cold temperature causes the air inside the balloon to contract, making it occupy less space.


What happens to a balloon if taken to a top of a mountain?

The balloon will expand as the air pressure decreases at higher altitudes. This is because the internal pressure of the balloon becomes greater than the external pressure. If the balloon is not released or deflated, it may pop.


What will happen to an inflated balloon if it is put in a refrigerator?

The volume of air inside the balloon will decrease as the temperature drops in the refrigerator, causing the balloon to slightly shrink. When the balloon is taken out of the refrigerator and warms up, the air inside will expand again and the balloon will return to its original size.


What happens to the temperature and the volume of an inflated balloon if it is taken outside on a cold winter day?

The temperature of the air inside the balloon will decrease, causing the volume of the air to decrease as well. This is because the air molecules move more slowly in the cold, creating less pressure inside the balloon.


A balloon has a volume of 456 mL at a pressure of 1.1 ATM It is taken under water in a submarine to a depth where the air pressure in the submarine is 3.3 ATM what is the volume of the balloon in mi?

I think the voulume is required in ml , So the answer will be 152ml...


What would cause a balloon to expand if taken to the of a mountain?

Lowered Pressure


what are the dependent and independent variables of a ballon depending on atmospheric pressure?

The mass of the balloon is independent. Atmospheric pressure will not change this because atoms are not being added or taken away from the balloon itself or its contents. The volume of the balloon will change, however, as it will expand or compress in response to the atmospheric pressure around it. The volume, therefore, is a dependent variable in this situation.


How can you tell if a chemical reaction has taken place when a hot air balloon flies?

When a hot air balloon flies, the chemical reaction that occurs is the heating of the air inside the balloon, causing it to expand and become less dense than the surrounding air. This creates lift, allowing the balloon to rise. You can confirm that a chemical reaction has taken place by observing the change in volume and buoyancy of the air inside the balloon as it heats up.


What would happen to party balloons that are inflated at room temperature and taken outside on a winters day?

When the temperature drops gases contract, so the balloon would be less inflated. This is the same reason why tire pressure drops when it gets cold outside.
