In an experiment involving a balloon, a scientist notices that the gas particles within the balloon begin to move faster, resulting in the balloon expanding. Which statement best describes the experiment? (1 point)

Question

• The scientist is investigating Boyle's law, which shows that pressure and volume are directly proportional.
The scientist is investigating Charles's law, which
• shows that temperature and volume are directly proportional.
The scientist is investigating Charles's law, which
• shows that temperature and volume are inversely proportional.
• The scientist is investigating Boyle's law, which shows that pressure and volume are inversely proportional.

Answer 1

The statement that best describes the experiment is:

The scientist is investigating Charles's law, which shows that temperature and volume are directly proportional.

This is because the observed increase in gas particle movement (which typically indicates an increase in temperature) leads to the expansion of the balloon, aligning with the principle of Charles's law.
