Answer: The gas atoms will strike the sides of the balloon more often.
Explanation:
Kinetic energy is the energy possessed by an object by virtue of its motion.
Average kinetic energy is defined as the average of the kinetic energies of all the particles present in a system. It is determined by the equation:
\(K=\frac{3RT}{2}\)
K= kinetic energy
R= gas constant
T= temperature
From above, it is visible that kinetic energy is directly related to the temperature of the system.
So if average kinetic energy of the system increases , the speed of the molecules will be more and hence the gas atoms will strike the sides of the balloon more often.
