50 POINTS Part 1. A slightly inflated balloon is placed about eight centimeters above a burning candle. Explain the change to the size of the balloon based on the kinetic molecular theory.

Part 2. The same balloon is now placed in a bucket of ice cold water. Explain the change to the size of the balloon based on the kinetic molecular theory.

In both cases, assume the balloon is tied tight enough so that air does not escape.

I only need part 2 answered! thanks! <333

1. Balloon will expand.

This is because when the temperature is higher, the particles of matter gain more heat energy, this heat energy is converted into the kinetic energy of particles. So, they move more rapidly in all directions, increasing the volume.

2. Balloon will contract.

This is because when the temperature is lower, the particles of matter lose more heat energy to their surroundings, this heat energy is converted from the kinetic energy of particles. It means they lose kinetic energy. So, they move less rapidly in all directions, decreasing the volume.

the molecules move in straight line until they collide with each other or with the walls of the container. collisions are perfectly elastic; when two molecules collide, they change their directions and kinetic energies, but the total kinetic energy is conserved.
