My teacher told me to set up an experiment to show that air expands when heated.I was give the following mat-?

Question

-erials but need not use all: a conical flask,a ballon,a beaker of red water,a basin of hot water,a lump of plasticine.Deascribe how i should conduct my experment and how i arrived at the conclusion.

Answer 1

take the conical flask and fix the balloon on the neck of it tightly(use plasticine if necessary) after that place the flask in the basin of hot water.You can see the balloon inflating slowly.........air expanded when it was heated using the basin of hot water which resulted in the inflation of balloon

Answer 2

Well, Matt gave you the perfect procedure for your experiment. I salute Matt for that. I would just like to add an example to it. Have you seen an air balloon carrying passengers high above the air? Have you noticed that, it carries a burner underneath the bottom opening of the balloon? When you want to raise it, you ignite the burner. Turn off the burner, the balloon drops. This proves heating the air inside the balloon is expanding it so powerful enough, it can lift passengers way up into the air. Isn't that fantastic?
