Suppose a balloons was laying by the window at night. The next day, when the sun came up, it warmed the gas (air) that was in the balloon. What would be true about the density of the air in the balloon?rnrnquestion 6 options:rnrnit will decrease.rnrnrnit will decrease for a while, then increasernrnrnit will increase.rnrnrnit will remain the same.
Accepted Answer
It will decrease.
As the temperature of a gas increases, its volume increases and its density decreases. This is because the gas particles move faster at higher temperatures, and they collide with each other and with the walls of the container less often. This results in a decrease in the pressure of the gas, and a decrease in its density.
