As a helium balloon floats up into the sky, the pressure of the atmosphere around it decreases as the balloons altitude increases. If the gas temperature does not change, what do you expect will happen to the volume of the balloon? Explain your thinking.
The balloon will expand, i.e. it's Volume is expected to increase.

question. Number eight is a much better question associated with Boyle's law than the lung. Question one. Because you keep breathing and your lungs were going to stay the same size as I mentioned before. But in the case of a balloon, we have a balloon. It has a particular volume. It's down at a low elevation. The balloon then ascends up to, ah, high elevation as it descends up to, Ah, high elevation. We have a low pressure, low outside pressure and here we have a high ah, higher outside pressure. So we're assuming temperature stays constant. If temperature stays constant, then we know that and also the moles of gas inside stay constant. Then we know that pressure p multiplied by V is gonna equal to be equal to a constant. So the moles inside here constant the same down below, is they are going to be up top. What's gonna happen to the volume? Well, if the pressure decreases, the volume has to increase in order for this to stay constant. And yes, it's the pressure outside that is lower with the balloon. The gas inside wants to equal that outside pressure, and so it's going to expand until the pressure inside the balloon equals the lower pressure outside of the balloon, and now the pressure inside the balloon has decreased and so it's volume must increase.
