Bell Work Week 3

• Please write the question AND your answer!Question:

You are asked to demonstrate that the volume of a gas expands when heated and contracts when cooled. You do an experiment using a balloon. First, you inflate and tie off a balloon, then measure the circumference at room temperature. Then you put the balloon in a freezer for an hour, measure the circumference, and find that it has contracted. When you put the balloon in a warm room for a time, the balloon expands and the circumference increases. What is the variable in this experiment?
