A student notices that an inflated balloon gets larger when it is warmed by a lamp. Which best describes the mass of the balloon with this change?

it gets larger because well let me give you an example so today in class we looked at a lava lamp with wax inside and there was a lightbulb at the bottom. we watched as the wax floated up because the molecules inside the wax spreads out and makes the wax less dense. the wax floats up because (which is related to the balloon getting bigger) the wax is getting less dense **and **the particles get bigger which ALSO makes the wax less dense. hope this helps and hope you can relate it to your problem! say thanks if I did help AT ALL! :)

The mass do not change. ;

When a balloon is heated, the air inside expands as the molecules gain energy and move faster, causing the balloon to enlarge. The mass of the balloon remains constant during this process. This illustrates the principle of thermal expansion, where substances expand with an increase in temperature.
