Question
When an inflated ballon is suddenly burst, why is the emerging air slightly cooled?
Advertisements
Solution
- The air enclosed within the inflated balloon experiences elevated pressure.
- When an inflated balloon is abruptly popped, the air contained within moves from the elevated pressure inside to the lower-pressure external environment.
- In accordance with the Joule-Thomson effect principle, as a gas at high pressure transitions to an area of lower pressure, it undergoes cooling.
- Consequently, the air emerging from the balloon is slightly chilled.
