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

• The mass of the balloon increases because the size of the balloon has increased.

• The mass of the balloon increases because the temperature of the balloon has increased.

• The mass of the balloon stays the same because the gas inside the balloon has the same mass after it warms up.

• The mass of the balloon stays the same because warming decreases the mass enough to cancel out the effect of increasing size.
