Why might a balloon, that is inflated almost to its capacity, pop or explode on an extremely warm day?
a) the balloon may be faulty.
b) it might pop because of the weakening of the balloon by the heat.
c) the balloon might pop due to the increase in the volume of the gas.
d) the balloon might pop because the volume will decrease within the balloon.

The balloon might pop due to the increase in the volume of the gas.

Explanation:

According to the given situation the balloon will explode in a hot day. This is because Boyles law shows that, when the temperature inside a gas particle increases, the "volume of the particle" also increases. This means the volume of the balloon will increase on an extremely hot day or even on a slightly warmer day. The increase in volume of the balloon causes it to explode.

Suppose the temperature was less, the volume of the gas particles would have decreased. This can also be explained with the help of Charles law where he explains the relation between temperature and volume.

Note: Charles law and Boyles law are called the gas laws.

Answer from: atran6955

The correct answer is C) The balloon might pop due to the increase in the volume of the gas.

Explanation:

Gas is a state of the matter in which particles move freely and are farther apart than in liquids or solids; this makes gases to have undefined volume and shape; although, they can be in a container such as a balloon. Moreover, in gases an increase in temperature (heat) increases the kinetic energy of particles, this means particles move more and due to this the volume (area the gas occupies) increases with temperature. This means in a warm day a ballon might explode because the increase of temperature leads to an increase in volume that explodes the ballon due to the new volume exceeding the one the balloon can contain.

Answer from: Quest

molecules are free to separate from each other and will take on the shape of the container. molecules move completely at random and high speeds. they vibrate in a fixed position and do not move around much. molecules expand to the edge of their container.
