Does+Temperature+Affect+Balloon+Size

Punith U  Cary Academy  ** ABSTRACT **  The purpose of the experiment conducted was to determine if the temperature at which the balloon was reserved in influenced the volume of the balloon. The experiment tested the balloon’s volume after it was kept in different sources of temperature. It was hypothesized that the temperature at which the balloon was kept at // would // affect the volume of the balloon. In the experiment, different balloons – all at the same volume – would be kept in different temperature sources. Furthermore, the balloon would be kept in the cause of temperature for exactly one minute and then the circumference of the balloon would be measured. With the circumference of the balloon, the volume of the balloon would next be measured. Of all sources of temperature, it was concluded that the balloon left in the cooler with dry ice was affected the most. After that came the balloon reserved in the incubator, then the freezer, the refrigerator, and finally the microwave. The balloon in the incubator expanded the most, while the balloon’s volume that was kept in the cooler with dry ice had decreased the most. It was concluded that the reason for the experimental outcome was that due to the Boyle’s law, the temperature was supposed to (and did) increase both the volume and pressure of the balloon.
