If you put an inflated balloon in a jar and then remove the air from the jar the balloon will expand. Perhaps to the point of bursting, or to the point where it coats the entire inner surface of the jar.

What happens if you inflate a balloon and release it into the air?
It depends with what the balloon was inflated with. If it's you blowing into the balloon it won't go anywhere but if it's filled with hydrogen or helium, then they will become buoyant. The reason, hydrogen and helium are lighter than air. They have a lower density. If you don't tie off the end, it will project itself around the room until it expends all the air that you added.
Does air in a balloon have no measurable mass?
No, air is matter and all matter takes up space therefore, having a mass. You can find it by subtracting the mass of the balloon from the total mass of the balloon and the air. (You will need a very accurate scale.)
What scientific principle explains hot air balloon flight?
The scientific principle that allows hot air balloons is the following.It's all in the name: hot air balloon. Hot air is blown into the opening at the bottom of the balloon. Because hot air is less dense than cold air, it rises. Since the balloon becomes filled with air that is less dense that that surrounding it, the balloon rises. If you want to make the hot air balloon rise faster, you have to either put less people in it or weigh it down less with less luggage or extra stuff.
Why will a hot air balloon rise and then float at a certain height in air?
increasing altitude decreases air pressure, this pressure gradient with gravity decides if things sink or float. heating the air in the balloon decreases the weight of the balloon and allows the downward pressure from above plus the weight of the balloon to be less than the upward air pressure from below. hence the balloon rises due to this force imbalance. the balloon reaches a constant height when all three are equal
How much wight can one balloon hold?
It all depends on the size of the balloon AND on the lifting gas (hydrogen, helium, hot air).
Why does air in a balloon take up all the space in the balloon?
It's a gas. The air molecules are free to move around anywhere in the balloon.
Did the Montgolfier Brothers invent anything but the hot air balloon?
no... they invented the hot air balloon and that's all.

Is a hot air balloon a chemical change?
not at all
What is the difference in the height of the balloon after ten minutes and the height of the balloon after sixty minutes?
There is no difference at all if the balloon is not inflated or inflated with air.
How do you lower a hot air balloon?
There is a flap in the top of the balloon that you open to let the hot air out and the balloon gets lower. Or, you can just wait a little bit, the air cools down, and it goes down, all by itself!
What happens if you heat a balloon?
If you gradually heat a balloon, then the gas inside the balloon will expand, causing the balloon to become bigger in volume.If you put a balloon above a flame, then the balloon will pop because the heat will weaken bonds in the polymer that makes up the balloon, thus the polymer will not be able to hold the pressure of the gas inside the balloon.
Does the air in a blown up balloon have mass?
Air, or oxygen and nitrogen is matter. All matter has mass. So the answer to this question is yes, air in a blown up balloon or any air does have mass.
What is a deflated balloon?
The word "deflated" means that all of the air or gas has been let out. So, a deflated balloon is one that no longer has any air in it.
Does air in a balloon have no measurable mass?
No, air is matter and all matter takes up space therefore, having a mass. You can find it by subtracting the mass of the balloon from the total mass of the balloon and the air. (You will need a very accurate scale.)
Why does a balloon fly all over when you let it go?
If there's a fan in the room or the air is moving, the balloon will move with it.
What happens to the shape of a helium balloon as it rises?
As the balloon rises, the air pressure outside will decrease, and the balloon skin will deform till the pressure on both sides of the skin is the same. Thus your balloon will inflate in shape, towards the spherical, which is the limiting shape for a simple balloon.
