Ms. Schaefer filled a balloon to its maximum capacity inside her air conditioned home. She then walked outside with the balloon and set it out on her deck where the balloon was exposed to the Sun’s radiant summer heat. According to Charle’s Law, what could happen to her balloon? • It could pop because the increase in temperature would cause an increase in volume. • It could pop because the increase in temperature will cause a decrease in pressure. • It could get smaller because the increase in temperature would cause a decrease in pressure. • It could get smaller because the increase in temperature would cause a decrease in volume.
