(06.01 MC) Part 1.You inflate a small balloon half of the way and place it inside a freezer. Using kinetic molecular theory, explain what will most likely happen next to the balloon.

Part 2. Instead, if you placed the same balloon outside under the sun, what would most likely take place? Explain your answer based on kinetic molecular theory.

You may assume the balloon is tied so that air does not escape. (10 points)

Part 1. When the balloon is filled half of the way, and placed into the freezer, it will shrink. This happens because kinetic molecular theory tells us that a decrease in temperature decreases the kinetic energy of the gas molecules in the balloon. Viscous gases like hydrogen are less likely to shrink.

Part 2. When the balloon is placed out in the hot sun, most likely the balloon will swell and grow. This happens because the kinetic energy of the gas molecules increases due to solar radiation transforming into heat energy and then transforming into kinetic energy. Sticky gases like neon are more likely to grow.
