Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
A helium-filled birthday balloon is released into the air. As it rises, its volume doubles. Explain what happens to the pressure inside the balloon if the temperature remains constant, using Boyle’s Law.
💡 Hint: Relate changes in volume to pressure interactions.
An air conditioner cools an enclosed space, reducing the temperature of the air. Discuss how this affects the pressure of the gas inside that space using Kinetic Theory.
💡 Hint: Consider the relationship between kinetic energy, temperature, and pressure.
