Homework Statement
Ok, I'm a little confused about the connection between pressure and temperature. Let's take two scenarios:
1) I have a balloon filled with helium at 30 degrees, and then I put it in the freezer. Then the volume changes, but the pressure stays constant, right?
2) I have the following setup:

The two buckets have different temperature - so the gas inside the hose has different temperatures at the sides 1 and 2. But why isn't the volume in part 1 bigger than the volume in part 2? Is that because the pressure is not constant?
I can't quite figure these things out.
Thanks in advance,
sincerely Niles.
