Why doesnt waterfilled balloon burst when heated?
You can have the candle flame actually touch the balloon, and the balloon won't break! The water in the balloon is absorbing the heat from the candle. The balloon conducts heat very well, so the candle flame transfers to the water without harming the balloon.
Why does balloon filled with water do not blast when it is shown to fire?
Why does the balloon with no water break in the flame? And balloon with water not break? The flame heats the rubber of both balloons. The rubber of the balloon without water becomes so hot, that it becomes too weak to resist the pressure of the air inside the balloon. When water inside the balloon is placed in the flame, the water absorbs most of the heat from the flame. Then, the rubber of the balloon does not become very hot. Because the rubber does not become hot, it does not weaken, and the balloon does not break. Water is a good absorber of heat
Can you hold a balloon under a flame without popping it?
UNDER a flame? Sure, why not? Over a flame? Close? Uhhh... NO
How does a hot air baloon work?
Simply put, the weather balloon is a lighter-than-air vehicle or aerosonde that provides lift to an instrument package to get it to altitude. The instruments thus situated can collect data which, when combined with other information from both similar and different sources, can be used to assess current conditions, and, as an extension, to forecast weather.
Why does a hot air balloon get off the ground?
because warm gases rise because they are less dense than normal air, so the hot air from the flame is trapped in the balloon thus lifting it off the ground.
Inflate a balloon and tie it closed hold it over the flame observe what happens?
If a balloon is inflated and tied closed, then held over a flame, it will surely pop. The heat of the flame will melt the rubber that makes the balloon.

When a strontium compound is heated in a flame red light is produced When a barium compound is heated in a flame yellow-green light is produced Explain why these colors are emitted?
Yes
Is an air inside a balloon a pure substance?
The air inside a hot air balloon is the same as normal air around the balloon and the air you're breathing, only heated by the flame inside the balloon, hence HOT AIR balloon.
What kind of gas is used for air balloon?
Just plain old ordinary air, but heated by the flame of the burner (which I believe burns propane gas).

How is a hot air balloon able to float with a flame?
As to the reason a hot air balloon floats has already been explained, I will answer your question regarding the flame. The gas burner provides the flame which is placed just in the mouth of the ballon, when lit it provides more heat to the cooling air in the balloon causing the balloon to maintain altitude.
What are the parts of a hot air balloon?
A hot air balloon is a machine that allows people to fly. It is comprised of a gigantic balloon attached to a basket where people stand. Under the balloon is a gas burner that lets out a large flame. The flame fills the balloon with heat, expanding it and enabling it to fly.
Why does a balloon filled with air and no water pop when placed over a flame?
If a balloon is filled with water, it becomes less susceptible to being popped over a flame, because the water can absorb some of the heat. Otherwise, the flame will rapidly destroy the material of the balloon (rubber, latex).
What is the thing coled on a hot air balloon that puts a flame up in to the balloon?
The piece of equipment that put the flame up into the balloon is called the 'burner' in most parts of the world. It is also sometimes called a 'heater'.
