Question

three balloons are inflated to the same size. the three balloons are submerged in buckets filled with ice water, tap water and water heated to 65°c. what results would you expect from this experiment? a all the balloons would shrink. b all the balloons would expand. c the balloon in the ice water would expand. d the balloon in the 65°c water would expand.

Explanation:

Based on the principle of thermal expansion of gases. Gases expand when heated and contract when cooled. The balloon in the 65°C water (hottest among the three) will experience expansion of the gas inside it due to the high - temperature environment.

Answer:

D. The balloon in the 65°C water would expand.
