After balloon is placed in a hot water bath for 10 minutes. 100 10.5 The hotter it got the bigger it got
I performed each trial 3 times with different balloons each time.
Using the information from Part 1: Plan an Investigation and Part 2: Conduct an Investigation, you will now evaluate the data and observations of your investigation. Then, you will write a valid conclusion about the relationship between the amount of gas particles and volume from your investigation. You should include your data and observations to support the information and any relationships in your conclusion. Make sure to use key terms and concepts from the unit in your conclusion.
This conclusion should be fully supported by the results of the investigation. It should provide an accurate and thorough evaluation of the investigation, including suggested improvements or alterations.
Here are some questions to consider as you write your evaluation.
• Review the relationship you wanted to test in your investigation? Does your investigation and data support it?
• What relationship, if any, does your data show or suggest about your investigation?
• What can you conclude about the data?
• Does the relationship remain after several trials? Explain your answer.
• What can you conclude about the amount of gas particles and volume based on your investigation?
• Can you identify any sources of error in your investigation?
• Are there any improvements or alterations you would suggest if you conducted this experiment again?

In this investigation, I aimed to test the relationship between the amount of gas injected into a balloon and the volume it occupies, hypothesizing that increasing the gas volume would lead to an increase in the balloon's size. The data collected during three trials supported this hypothesis. Initially, the balloon was inflated to a diameter of 10 inches at room temperature (70°F). When placed in the freezer, the balloon's diameter decreased to 8 inches (18°F), indicating that colder temperatures reduce the kinetic energy of gas particles, resulting in a smaller volume. Conversely, when the balloon was submerged in hot water (100°F), its diameter expanded to 10.5 inches, illustrating that increased thermal energy enhances the movement of gas particles, leading to an increase in volume. These results consistently demonstrated that as gas particles are introduced or heated, the balloon's volume expands, confirming the direct relationship between gas particle amount and volume.
Overall, the relationship reflected in my data remained consistent across several trials, showing a clear pattern of expansion with heat and contraction with cold. However, potential sources of error included variations in balloon elasticity and measurement inaccuracies due to the difficulty in obtaining a perfectly round shape. For future investigations, I would recommend using a digital caliper for more precise measurements of the balloon's diameter and possibly controlling the balloon type to ensure consistent elasticity. Additionally, conducting the experiment in a more controlled environment would help mitigate temperature variation influences, leading to more reliable data.
