Consider a balloon that has a volume V. It contains n moles of gas, it has an internal pressure of P, and its temperature is T. If the balloon is heated to a temperature of 15.5T while it is placed under a high pressure of 15.5P, how does the volume of the balloon change?

A.) it will double

B.) It stays the same

C.) It increases greatly

D.) It decreases greatly

Given that the gas inside the balloon is an ideal gas, then the ideal gas equation can be used to describe the system. I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option B. If the balloon is heatedto a temperature of 15.5T while it is placed under a high pressure of 15.5P, then the volume of the balloon stays the same since the change in temperature corresponds to same degree of change with pressure.
