What causes pressure inside a helium balloon?

The pressure in a container is due to the particles of the gas hitting the inside walls of the container.


What causes a plastic bottle when filled with hot water to contract when a lid is placed on the top?

We have to assume that the lid does not allow air to enter the plastic bottle. When the water is hot, the air above the water is also hot. When the air cools down, its volume decreases significantly. This, in turn, causes the pressure in the bottle to decrease such that atmospheric pressureis greater than the pressure inside the bottle. This causes the bottle to contract since the force exerted on the bottle due to atmospheric pressure is greater than the force exerted on the bottle due to the air pressure inside the bottle. The volume of the bottle decreases until the pressure of the air inside becomes equal to atmospheric pressure. The changes in volume, pressure and temperature can be explained by the equation pV=nRT, where p:pressure of gas V:Volume occupied by gas n:number of moles of gas R:molar gas constant T:Thermodynamic temperature of the gas


How can you die from a rapid change in air pressure?

Sudden change in air pressure might lead to death. Sudden change in air pressure will disrupt the blood and air circulation within your body. You might feel dizzy and have nose-bleeding in such cases.


What happen when a balloon is filled with helium?

When a balloon is filled with helium, it becomes buoyant because helium is lighter than the surrounding air. This causes the balloon to rise and float. The helium gas inside the balloon also increases the pressure, which helps the balloon maintain its shape and stay inflated.


What happens when you blow over the mouth of a test tube which is half filled with water?

Blowing over the mouth of the test tube will create a decrease in air pressure inside the tube. This decrease in pressure will cause the water in the test tube to rise up due to the higher pressure outside the tube. Ultimately, the water level in the test tube will rise as a result of the change in pressure.

If a bottle is filled with hot air and then put in a freezer why will the bottle change volume and shape?

When the hot air inside the bottle cools down in the freezer, it will contract and decrease in volume. This decrease in volume causes the pressure inside the bottle to decrease, leading to a change in its shape. The bottle may collapse or deform as a result of the reduced pressure.


What will happen to the air pressure inside a bottle when air is filled up inside?

The air pressure inside the bottle will increase as more air is filled up inside. This is because the air molecules are compressed, resulting in higher pressure.


What happens in an empty tank when it is filled with air?

When an empty tank is filled with air, the air molecules move into the tank and exert pressure on the walls of the tank. This increases the air pressure inside the tank and causes the tank to become pressurized.


What has to happen for a balloon to inflate?

A balloon inflates when it is filled with a gas, such as helium or air, creating pressure inside the balloon which causes it to expand. The gas molecules inside the balloon push against the walls, causing it to stretch and increase in size.

What happens when a helium-filled balloon is released and rises into the atmosphere?

As the helium-filled balloon rises into the atmosphere, the surrounding air pressure decreases while the pressure inside the balloon remains the same. This causes the helium inside the balloon to expand, making the balloon increase in size. Eventually, the balloon will reach a point where the difference in pressure between the inside and outside of the balloon will be equal, and it will float at that altitude.


Why balloon bursts at height?

Because of the pressure in the higher atmosphere is much lower than the pressure where it was filled. This causes the pressure inside to expand the balloon up to and past the bursting point. Most likely the tip of the troposphere.


What causes the pressure inside an oxygen tank to change?

The pressure inside an oxygen tank changes due to the release of oxygen gas as it is used. As the oxygen is depleted, the volume of gas decreases, leading to a drop in pressure. Conversely, filling the tank with more oxygen increases the pressure inside.


What causes the air pressure inside an inflated balloon?

The elastic contraction of the rubber in the balloon's membrane causes the pressure in the air inside an inflated balloon. When you inflate a balloon, you have to expand the latex of the balloon, which stretches when filled with air from a pressure of 760 mm Hg to as high as 840 (about 10% higher than standard atmospheric pressure). If you inflate a non-elastic mylar balloon, it takes no effort: the air inside is at the same pressure as the air outside.


What happens when you conduct the hot soda can in cold water experiment?

When you conduct the hot soda can in cold water experiment, the sudden change in temperature causes the air inside the can to cool and contract, creating a lower pressure inside the can. This lower pressure causes the can to be crushed or implode due to the higher pressure of the surrounding atmosphere pushing on the can.
