Question

A little boy blows air into a rubber glove and ties a knot at the end of it. He realizes that he wants the puffed-up glove to be bigger, but he's already tied a knot that he cannot untie.

According to the gas laws, what could the little boy do to increase the volume of air in the glove?

place the glove in the freezer
place the glove in the sun
squeeze the fingers of the glove
poke a hole in one of the fingers of the glove

Well let's take a look:
As temperature decreases, matter's density typically increases. The opposite is also true.

Squeezing the fingers of the glove just moves air from the fingers of the glove to another location within the glove.

As for poking a hole in the glove, that'll get you nowhere. I'm sure you can guess why.

Does this help? Let me know if you still need a bit more guidance and I'll be happy to help. :D
