Which of the following best explains why the volume of an inflated balloon decreases when placed in a cold water bath? *

The balloon fills with water from the hot water bath.

As temperature decreases, the gas molecules move slower and the volume
decreases.

Higher temperatures cause a decrease in the pressure of the balloon.

The water cools down as the volume of the balloon increases.

  the   balanced   equation   for   reaction of   ca metal   with   o2 to   produce   cao   is as below

2 ca+ o2→ 2 cao2

  explanation

the reaction is   balanced     since the   number of atoms   in reactant side is   equal to   number of atoms   in   product side.   for   example   they   are 2   atom of   ca in   reactant   side   and   2   atoms of ca   in   the product side.

  the   process   is a   meet the   requirement   of   redox   reaction because :     calcium   is   oxidized   from   oxidation state 0   to 2+   while   oxygen   is reduced from   oxidation   state   0   to 2-

the answer would be a

there are two significant figures.
