Question 7 • FL-2003340-Chemistry 1 B

The particles of a gas inside a balloon are experiencing an increase in their average kinetic energy and the number of collisions with the wall of the balloon. What is the most likely outcome?

Answer
A
higher gas pressure inside the balloon
B
higher air pressure outside the balloon
C
a decrease in gas temperature inside the balloon
D
a large increase in air temperature outside the balloon

Explanation

Average kinetic energy is directly related to temperature, so the gas particles are moving faster. They collide with the balloon wall more often and with greater force, increasing the pressure inside the balloon. Therefore, the most likely outcome is higher gas pressure inside the balloon.
