Explain the observations listed below using the Kinetic Molecular Theory. (a) When a balloon is placed into an environment where its temperature goes down, its volume decreases; this happens regardless of the gas that is in the balloon. (b) When the balloon which was just described from above is cooled even further, its volume doesn't become zero; instead, the gas condenses or deposits out. (c) If NH3 gas is injected at one end of a long tube while HCI gas is injected simultaneously at the other end, ammonium chloride forms in the tube after a few minutes. The formation is closer to the HCl end of the tube than the NH3 end. (d) A flag moves back and forth in the wind.

Question
Explain the observations listed below using
the Kinetic Molecular Theory.
(a) When a balloon is placed into an
environment where its temperature goes
down, its volume decreases; this happens
regardless of the gas that is in the balloon.
(b) When the balloon which was just
described from above is cooled even further,
its volume doesn't become zero; instead, the
gas condenses or deposits out.
(c) If NH3 gas is injected at one end of a long
tube while HCI gas is injected simultaneously
at the other end, ammonium chloride forms
in the tube after a few minutes. The formation
is closer to the HCl end of the tube than the
NH3 end.
(d) A flag moves back and forth in the wind.
