Let's say you blew three baloons to the same size and left one baloon at room temperature, and kept one baloon in an ice bath, and one baloon above a hot water container. You left the laboratory for 30 minutes and when you came back, you saw that the size of the baloon in the ice bath was smaller than before and size of the baloon above hot water container was larger than the original size. As chemistry student, how do you explain the reason for this observation.
