The document presents a series of questions related to the behavior of gases in an inflatable balloon for weather observation. It explores the relationships between volume, pressure, temperature, and gas particles, providing multiple-choice answers for each scenario. The critical thinking question at the end requires applying these concepts to predict changes in pressure based on given conditions.

Context:

Imagine you are an engineer working on designing a new type of inflatable balloon that will be used for weather
observation. The balloon needs to be filled with gas, and its volume, pressure, and temperature must be carefully
controlled to ensure it inflates correctly and floats at the right altitude.
You need to determine how different factors—pressure, volume, temperature, and the number of gas particles—
affect the balloon’s ability to inflate and rise.
Instructions:
Read the following questions and answer them
Question 1: Volume and Pressure You are filling the balloon with gas. You notice that when you reduce the volume
of the balloon (by squeezing it), the pressure inside increases.
Why does this happen? Choose the best explanation:

A) As you reduce the volume, the gas particles move slower and collide less frequently with the walls, increasing
pressure.
B) As you reduce the volume, the gas particles are forced closer together, causing more collisions with the walls,
which increases the pressure.
C) Reducing volume decreases the number of gas particles, which decreases the pressure.

Question 2: Temperature and Volume The balloon is placed in a cooler environment, and you notice that the
balloon deflates slightly. You then place the balloon in a warmer environment, and it inflates.
Which of the following describes what is happening to the gas inside the balloon as the temperature changes?
A) When the temperature increases, the gas particles move faster, collide more, and the volume of the balloon
increases.
B) When the temperature decreases, the gas particles lose energy, the pressure inside the balloon increases, and the
volume decreases.
C) The temperature has no effect on the gas inside the balloon.

Question 3: Pressure and Temperature You have a fixed volume of gas in the balloon, and you decide to increase
the temperature by heating it. What happens to the pressure inside the balloon as the temperature rises?
Choose the best explanation:
A) As the temperature increases, the gas particles move faster and collide more often, increasing the pressure.
B) The pressure decreases because the gas particles move slower at higher temperatures.
C) The pressure remains constant because the volume is fixed.

Question 5: Real-Life Scenario You are in a car on a hot day. The car windows are closed, and the temperature
inside the car rises.
What happens to the pressure of the air inside the car? o
A) The pressure decreases because the gas particles move slower with heat. o
B) The pressure increases because the gas particles move faster and collide more often as the temperature rises. o
C) The pressure stays the same because the volume of the car is fixed.
Critical Thinking Question:
You have a gas in a balloon, and you know the following:
The volume is 2 L.
The temperature is 300 K.
The pressure is 1 atm.
Now, if the temperature is increased to 600 K, and the volume is decreased to 1 L, how would the pressure change?
Choose the most likely outcome:
A) The pressure will decrease.
B) The pressure will remain the same.
C) The pressure will increase.
