Step-by-Step Analysis

We begin by restating each sub-question and the corresponding answer choice. a) If a balloon is cooled, what happens to the pressure of the air inside the balloon? Options: Increases / Decreases. Correct answer: Decreases. - Reason: For a gas in a fixed amount (n) at a given temperature, pressure is related to temperature and volume via the ideal gas law. Cooling lowers the average kinetic energy of the gas molecules, reducing collisions with the balloon walls, so the pressure tends to drop. If the balloon’s volume can change (and it usually can for a flexible balloon), the reduced temperature generally leads to reduced pressure, not a......Login to view full explanation
