Question

michaela is babysitting little tommy turner, who is known to be a terror. michaela answered the phone when tommys parents called to check in him, leaving tommy unattended for three minutes. during that time tommy turned the oven on its hottest setting and placed his new police car mylar balloon in the oven. what will most likely happen to his balloon? a the increased temperature will cause the balloon to shrink. b the increased temperature will cause the balloon to grow and pop. c the increased temperature will not create any changes in the balloon. d the increased temperature will cause the balloon to change shape and then shrink.

Explanation:

According to Charles's Law, for a given amount of gas at constant pressure, volume is directly proportional to temperature. When the mylar balloon is placed in the hot oven, the temperature of the gas inside the balloon increases. This causes the volume of the gas to expand. As the volume expands beyond the balloon's capacity, it will pop.

Answer:

B. The increased temperature will cause the balloon to grow and pop.
