Imagine a balloon that you blow up to a full size. What do you expect to happen if you pour liquid nitrogen at 77 K over the surface of the balloon? Assume that the pressure does not change significantly.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When liquid nitrogen at 77 K is poured on the surface of the balloon, it will cause the air particles inside the balloon to cool down and contract, resulting in a decrease in the size of the balloon. This occurs because the volume of a gas is directly proportional to its temperature, and when the temperature decreases, the volume also decreases, assuming constant pressure.
