Because as the balloon is heated, the gases on the inside of the balloon begin to expand and press out on the walls of balloon. If a balloon is refridgerated, the opposite is true: the gases on the inside of the balloon will begin to contract, causing the balloon to shrink.

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 occurs to the volume of an inflated balloon when exposed to cold air?

It decreases. The colder air contracts, making the balloon shrink.


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.


When an inflated balloon is exposed to cold air the volume of the balloon?

decreases. This is because the cold air causes the air molecules inside the balloon to move slower, reducing their kinetic energy and causing the balloon to shrink.


Why does a balloon shrink when cooled?

because the particles of the compound, called atoms, vibrate more when heated and then when cooled the


What happens if you put a inflated balloon in the freezer?

The cold temperature in the freezer will cause the air molecules inside the balloon to contract, making the balloon shrink in size. If the balloon gets cold enough, the rubber may become brittle and more prone to popping.


When you put the balloon in the freezer what law is it an example of?

Charles Law - the expansion (when heated) or contraction (when cooled) of gases. E.g. when you leave a balloon outside in the heat it will pop from the gas inside expanded, but when you put it in a freezer it will shrink as the gas inside contracts.


What materials shrink when heated?

Materials that shrink when heated include certain types of plastics, rubber, and fabrics.


What cause the balloon to shrink?

Balloons can shrink due to loss of gas inside, typically helium or air, escaping through small holes or pores in the balloon material. Changes in temperature can also cause the gas inside the balloon to contract, reducing its volume and making the balloon appear to shrink.


Why does a balloon with an aluminium coating take longer to shrink than a rubber balloon?

A balloon with an aluminum coating takes longer to shrink because aluminum is a good insulator of heat, which slows down the transfer of heat from the surrounding air to the balloon. This insulation property helps retain the heat inside the balloon, making it take longer to cool down and shrink compared to a rubber balloon.


How does the sun make a balloon shrink?

The sun causes the air inside the balloon to heat up, making the molecules move faster and spread out. As a result, the pressure inside the balloon increases, causing the balloon to shrink because the air molecules are now more densely packed.


Does a balloon shrink if more pressure is applied to it?

Yes, it does.
