As a person squeezes and applies pressure to the outside of a balloon, air particles inside A) will occupy less volume causing a decrease in temperature. B) will occupy less volume causing an increase in the density of the particles. C) will collide more often causing a decrease in the density of the particles. D) will slow down causing the volume of the balloon to shrink.

b- will occupy less volume causing an increase in density of the particles

Answer: The correct option is (B).

Explanation:

  • According to Boyle's law:'Pressure of the gas is inversely proportional to the volume occupied by the gas',[tex]Pressure\propto \frac{1}{volume}[/tex]
  • volume is inversely proportional to the density,[tex]density\propto \frac{1}{volume}[/tex]

When a person squeezes and applies pressure to the outside of a balloon, air particles inside will then occupy less volume which will cause increase in the density of the particles.
