At the molecular level, how would the helium atoms be affected if you put the balloons in the trunk of your car on a hot summer day? Choose one or more: The helium atoms in the balloon would move slower. The helium atoms in the balloon would move further apart. The helium atoms in the balloon would move faster. There would be no effect on the helium atoms in the balloon. The helium atoms in the balloon would move closer together.
Expert Answer
Answer
a) false, they will move faster, since T is high, therefore Kinetic energy is high, i.e. velocity must be high
b) TRUE, since it will expand the balloon due to higher temperature, according to ideal gas law
c) True, as stated in a
d) false, clearlyit has an effect, since this is an ideal gas, so it is affected by temperature
e) False, this will be the case for a lower temperature, not a high temperature
from the list, choose B and C
