A balloon is filled with air at room temperature. It is then dipped into liquid nitrogen at 77K. Why does the balloon collapse?

A) The molecules inside the balloon slow down < maybe this one?

B) The material becomes sticky < I doubt it's this answer

C) All the air inside the balloon condenses to form ice

D) It develops a hole due to the decreased temperature

Respuesta :

Hey there!

Here is your answer:

Your answer is "The molecules inside the balloon slow down" or A!

When molecules get cold they slow down and when they get hot they speed up look at the examples of a solid, liquid, and gas!

Hope this helps!

The balloon collapse because the molecules inside the balloon slows down.

What is molecule?

A molecule is a group of two or more atoms that are chemically bonded together by attractive forces.

What is Charles law?

  • Charles law states that the volume of an ideal gas varies directly with its temperature in Kelvin.
  • The equation for the Charles law can be written as

              V1/T1 = V2/T2

        Where, V₁ and V₂ = Initial and final volume of the gas

        T₁ and T₂= Initial and final temperature of gas

  • This can be explained with the help of Charles law.

The molecules inside the balloon slow down because the temperature of liquid nitrogen is much lower than the room temperature and at lower temperature the gas occupies less volume.

Therefore the balloon collapses when dipped in liquid nitrogen.

Hence, option A is the correct answer.
