The volume decreases because the air molecules slow down and pack closer together.

While a balloon is being filled if the temperature of the air in the balloon decreases what happens to its volume?

volume decreases considering the pressure is constant


What happens to the air pressure inside a balloon when the balloon is squeezed to half it volume at constant temperature?

The air pressure inside the balloon will increase when it is squeezed to half its volume at constant temperature. This is because the volume of the balloon decreases, leading to the air molecules being more confined in a smaller space, resulting in higher pressure.


What happens to the air pressure inside a balloon when it is squeezed to half its volume at constant temperature?

When a balloon is squeezed to half its volume at constant temperature, the air pressure inside the balloon increases. This is because the number of air molecules remains constant while the volume decreases, leading to the molecules being packed closer together and increasing the pressure.


What happens when you release a balloon with air in it?

When you release a balloon with air in it, the air inside the balloon is pushed out, causing the balloon to fly through the air. This happens because the air being forced out creates a force in the opposite direction, propelling the balloon forward.


Why does a bigger balloon pop louder?

A bigger balloon contains more air, resulting in a larger volume of gas being released when it pops. This larger volume of gas creates a louder sound wave, leading to a louder pop.


What happens to the pressure and the molecules inside a beach ball that is being blown up?

Imagine you are putting the balloon in a tank of water. Assume the balloon has X volume. It will displace that much water. When you inflate the balloon with Y liters of air, you add the two volumes together. You would now displace X+Y liters of water. I hope that's right. Essentially volume now equals volume of balloon+volume of air.


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.


What is a best item to describe an increase in volume?

The universe: The further edges of the cosmological universe (or multiverse) is expanding, and thus increasing in the contained volume. Eventually, the volume will (and must be) described in all 10 dimensions.


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.


How do you show that air has volume?

Fill a balloon with oxygen. If it inflates then you have successfully proved that air has volume. If it does not inflate, grow a pair and blow harder. Then if not you know air does not have volume.


What happens to a balloon rubbed with plastic wrap and why?

When a balloon is rubbed with plastic wrap, the balloon becomes negatively charged due to the transfer of electrons from the plastic wrap to the balloon. This results in the balloon being attracted to positively charged objects or surfaces, due to the attraction between opposite charges.


How does inflating a balloon violates boyle's law?

No, this doesn't because P1V1 is a constant, which I think means it needs to have the same quantity of gas, which blowing a balloon isn't. Boyle's law is only used when a fixed amount of gas is being compressed or uncompressed, changing only its volume and pressure.
