Is burning a balloon a physical or chemical change?

Answer 1

When thinking of a balloon, it's best to think of two different chemical compounds that do not mix, the balloon itself and air. What makes the balloon pop is that the pressure of the air exceeds the force of the chemical bonds of the balloon. In order for a chemical reaction to take place, you need to start off with one set of chemicals that become a new set of chemicals.

However, when a balloon pops, no new chemicals are created. All that happens is that the electron bonds of the compound we know of as the balloon break.

Answer 2

Burning a balloon is a chemical change because it involves a chemical reaction that breaks down the rubber molecules in the balloon into different chemical compounds, such as carbon dioxide and water vapor.

Answer 3

When you break a balloon, you make a physical change to the balloon.
physical
It is purely a Physical Change, nothing chemical has happened

Answer 4

It's a physical change because you didn't add any other substance to the balloon, and also because only the form of the balloon has changed.

Answer 5

Chemical. Burning anything is chemical.

Answer 6

physical

Answer 7
